Advanced interpretable diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease using SECNN-RF framework with explainable AI.

ABSTRACT: Early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is vital for effective treatment, as interventions are most successful in the disease's early stages. Combining Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with artificial intelligence (AI) offers significant potential for enhancing AD diagnosis. However, traditional AI models often lack transparency in their decision-making processes. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is an evolving field that aims to make AI decisions understandable to humans, providing transparency and insight into AI systems. This research introduces the Squeeze-and-Excitation Convolutional Neural Network with Random Forest (SECNN-RF) framework for early AD detection using MRI scans. The SECNN-RF integrates Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) blocks into a Convolutional Neural Network (
