1 Introduction
The illness of AD is a degenerative brain disease triggered by nerve cell dam-
age in the brain [1]. The patient faces difficulty performing day-to-day tasks,
with initial signs of memory loss, problems in language, and different cognitive
processes. Researchers notably observed that AD is a prevalent cause of demen-
tia and ultimately leads to mortality, a particular focus of study. According to
the Alzheimer’s Association, AD is the sixth leading reason for mortality in the
United States. A survey [2] reveals that 131.5 million individuals (mostly elderly
with more than 65 years of age) are at greater risk of dementia globally. The pri-
mary cause of AD is the degeneration of the hippocampal region, a component
of the brain comprising the ability to think, memory and falls. AD and healthy
brain imagery illustrated in Fig. 1 leads to a decline in memory and language
powers.
Research on comprehensive review for detection of AD and dementia stages
on MRI images applying DL techniques and the significance of DL in medi-
cal imaging has been emphasized [4,5]. The artificial intelligence (AI) umbrella

encompasses abundant algorithms and methods, e.g. genetic algorithm, that have
multiple applications in day to day life. The authors of these books [6,7] have
provided a intellectual study about medical imaging. Biswas et al. [8,9] has pre-
sented a study about neurological disorder and provided an XAI explanation. A
neurabooks l of tprovide alctual hese netwointelrk that employs many param-
eters and layers are defined as “deep learning”. The authors [10] pre-trained
ResNet-18 on ImageNet dataset with convolutional neural network (CNN). The
sequence-based models employed were the temporal convolution network (TCN)
and several recurrent neural networks (RNN). For AD detection, numerous
intense sequence-based models and structures were developed and compared.
Several deep learning models, comprising 2D, 3D, CNN, and RNN, have been
constructed in previous studies by researchers. Each MRI scan is divided into
2D slices to utilise a 2D CNN on 3D mrin volumes, disregards the link between
2D image slices in MRI volume with a 96.88% precision, a 100% sensitivity and
a 94.12% specificity. Many basic network designs are included such as CNNs,
which are essentially an extensive space-based CNN employing shared weights
[11]. RNNs can leverage their internal state to process input sequences in com-
parison to neural feedforward networks. The RNNs aims at identifying sequences,
for example, a speech signal or the text. Authors of [12] used Alzheimer’s
disease neuroimaging initiative (ADNI) database magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) and created a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system. AD affects the
hippocampus and cerebrum, mainly in the gray matter of the cerebrum and
retrieves the gray matter area of the brain, multi-modality diagnostic technique
based on deep learning is proposed [13] to extract significant traits for these
modest variations. The authors of [14] discussed the segmentation of improved
AD classification along with segmentation techniques, state-of-the-art methods
and comparative findings. Another study [15] proposed a technique to generate
maps of disease with a high-resolution range from local brain architecture to a
multi-layered perception of individual Alzheimer’s risk for an accurate diagnosis.

For multimodal input, the ADNI, Australian imaging biomarkers and lifestyle
study of Ageing(AIBL), Framingham heart and the national Alzheimer’s coor-
dinating centre (NACC) datasets each had a mean range of 0.996, 0.974, 0.876
and 0.954, respectively. Here the authors [16] demonstrated, utilising ADNI,
that deep models surpass shallow models, for example, support vector machine
(SVM), decision trees, random forests and neighbouring k-stone neighbours. A
sub-study of the heinz nixdorf recall (HNR) study with 120 persons and a base-
line model accuracy of 76% is examined with the recommended approach [17].
A 12-layer CNN model was provided with brain MRI data to diagnose AD with
97.75% accuracy using [18] binary classification and data. Other classifications,
such as the stroke diagnosis, the brain-predicted age, attention deficit hyperac-
tivity disorder classes (ADHD), used DL techniques for identifying classification
using MRI. Few researchers altered the 3D-CNN model for AD diagnostics [19].,
Shaik and Ram [20] attempted to extract gray matter from the human brain and
to classify it using CNN. The technique given was used for clinical valuation,
and a precision of 90.47 was obtained. Hamed et al. [21] presented a technique
that gave high accuracy in categorisation with 94.54% accuracy. A wide vari-
ety of diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, cancer or Alzheimer’s, are highly
promised for clinical decision-making support and DL has been a success for
said diseases. DL outperforms low learning for single data modalities such as
images, EHRs, and SNP’s. Haque et al. [29] utilised previously built models for
diagnosing Alzheimer. To detect mild, demented and normal Alzheimer control
patients using MRI images, Santosh et al. [30] developed the AlzNet deeper
learning model [31].
This research has included Kaggle’s dataset comprising very mild demented
images and non-demented images for testing the proposed model and the classi-
fication of individuals with AD. For the training of MRI imaging data, CNNs is
used. After the networks are trained for data modality, authors utilise the valida-
tion set to validate the model. Afterwards, the model is accessed using test data
to measure the performance outcome. Despite improved clinical decision sup-
port, the performance using various data types, lack of well-defined techniques
for assessing profound models is a fundamental obstacle for widespread adop-
tion of DL model adoption for the clinical decision-making process. The authors
identified this challenge and proposed an improved DL method to discover the
key factors influencing choice rapidly. The significant contribution of this study
in forecasting the AD stage is highlighted below:
The remaining sections of the papers are as follows: Sect. 2 contains a proposed
methodology of deep CNN to detect AD, Sect. 3 discusses the details experi-
ments, and Sect. 4 concludes the paper with future recommendations.

ples and 896 mild demented sample images, and 64 moderately demented images.
The study uses two classes of images out of 4 classes, with one extremely mild,
demented class. The dataset was further split into training and testing with 3360
training images and 1440 test images.

For both the training and validation sets, performance is measured in terms
of accuracy and loss. The loss provides a highly accurate indication of the model’s
fit. Figure 5 illustrates the accuracy versus epoch and loss versus epoch graphs
for training and validation sets. The training set indicates the training accuracy
attained is 99.27%, and the training and validation loss was virtually zero. It
also demonstrates the progression of the model during its training phase. The

validation set, on the other hand, provides a measure of the model’s quality.
The attained validation accuracy is 99.40%, which indicates that the model can
envisage data detection with 99.40% accuracy.
The confusion matrix illustrates the precise versus non-precise predictions
spread across each class and occurrence. A receiver operating characteristic curve
(ROC) is a graphical representation that depicts the model’s performance. The
proposed model achieved the highest AUC score possible, indicating that supe-
rior results for high-quality separation. To further provide particulars about
the performance of confusion matrices, a ROC curve is shown in Fig. 6 for test
images.

Previous studies likewise utilise deep learning for AD detection, and nearly
all of the researchers used binary classification; however, superior accuracy is
achieved by the proposed model for provided datasets. Thus, the proposed deep
CNN has reached superior accuracy for binary classification and yielded the best
outcome for detecting AD to best of our knowledge.
4 Conclusion
AD, the highly prevalent form of dementia, is the brain’s primary cause of mem-
ory ailments. In this article, the authors proposed enhanced deep CNN for better
diagnosis of AD. The proposed deep CNN achieve an accuracy of 99.38%, 98.90%
sensitivity, 99.74% specificity, 99.70% precision and 99.32% F1 score. The model
correctly identified 654 images out of 656 real Alzheimer images, with only seven
misidentifications. Hence, the proposed classifier obtained the highest AUC score
of 1.00, indicating the best deep CNN for high-class separation. The results may
be further improved with high computing machines, which was the limitation of
the study. Researchers may replicate the analysis for different applications and
on large datasets with high configuration computational power in the future.
