A Robust Classification Framework for Alzheimer’s Detection Using MobileNet and Xception Networks
摘要
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurological condition that worsens over time and causes irreversible cognitive impairment, significantly burdening global healthcare systems. Effective management and therapy depend on an early and precise diagnosis. This study presents a robust deep learning-based classification framework leveraging MobileNet and Xception architectures to identify AD stages from MRI images. Pretrained models are adjusted with the use of data augmentation and optimization methods for grouping images into four categories: Non-Demented, Very Mild Demented, Mild Demented, and Moderate Demented. The Xception model achieved 95% accuracy, while MobileNet reached 84.59%, demonstrating promising potential for resource-constrained environments. This work advances diagnostic accuracy in AD detection, facilitating timely medical interventions.
