Alzheimer Detection And Classification Using SVM

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive brain disorder that leads to memory loss and a gradual decline in thinking and reasoning abilities. One of the major challenges in dealing with Alzheimer's is detecting it early and accurately using MRI brain scans. Traditional manual analysis of these scans can be slow, complex, and prone to human mistakes over the years, different machine learning (ML) models like Decision Tree, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, and K-Nearest Neighbors have been used to identify Alzheimer's. However, these models often face issues such as overfitting, lower accuracy, and weak performance when dealing with complex and high-dimensional MRI data.to overcome these limitations, the proposed approach uses SVM model for detecting and classifying Alzheimer's disease. The SVM model is well-suited for handling non-linear and complex data. It can effectively separate different disease categories by using advanced kernel functions and optimal hyperplane techniques. This leads to more precise and stable classification results, even with smaller datasets compared to existing ML models, the proposed SVM model achieves higher accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, making it more dependable for automatic Alzheimer's detection. It not only reduces errors but also helps in identifying the disease at an early stage, which is crucial for better treatment and patient care. With 98.16% classification accuracy, it outperforms current architectures significantly in the Alzheimer Detection and Classification Using SVM.
