Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes irreversible damage to several brain regions, including the hippocampus causing impairment in cognition, function, and behaviour. Early diagnosis of the disease will reduce the suffering of the patients and their family members. Towards this aim, in this paper, we propose a Siamese Convolutional Neural Network (SCNN) architecture that employs the triplet-loss function for the representation of input MRI images as k-dimensional embeddings. We used both pre-trained and non-pretrained CNNs to transform images into the embedding space. These embeddings are subsequently used for the 4-way classification of Alzheimer's disease. The model efficacy was tested using the ADNI and OASIS datasets which produced an accuracy of 91.83% and 93.85%, respectively. Furthermore, obtained results are compared with similar methods proposed in the literature.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
