AHANet: Adaptive Hybrid Attention Network for Alzheimer’s Disease Classification Using Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurological problem that causes brain atrophy and affects the memory and thinking skills of an individual. Accurate detection of AD has been a challenging research topic for a long time in the area of medical image processing. Detecting AD at its earliest stage is crucial for the successful treatment of the disease. The proposed Adaptive Hybrid Attention Network (AHANet) has two attention modules, namely Enhanced Non-Local Attention (ENLA) and Coordinate Attention. These modules extract global-level features and local-level features separately from the brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), thereby boosting the feature extraction power of the network. The ENLA module extracts spatial and contextual information on a global scale while also capturing important long-range dependencies. The Coordinate Attention module captures local features from the input images. It embeds positional information into the channel attention mechanism for enhanced feature extraction. Moreover, an Adaptive Feature Aggregation (AFA) module is proposed to fuse features from the global and local levels in an effective way. As a result of incorporating the above architectural enhancements into the DenseNet architecture, the proposed network exhibited better performance compared to the existing works. The proposed network was trained and tested on the ADNI dataset, yielding a classification accuracy of 98.53%.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
