Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease that mostly affects the elderly, slowly impairs memory, cognition, and daily tasks. AD has long been one of the most debilitating chronic neurological disorders, affecting mostly people over 65. In this study, we investigated the use of Vision Transformer (ViT) for Magnetic Resonance Image processing in the context of AD diagnosis. ViT was utilized to extract features from MRIs, map them to a feature sequence, perform sequence modeling to maintain interdependencies, and classify features using a time series transformer. The proposed model was evaluated using ADNI T1-weighted MRIs for binary and multiclass classification. Two data collections, Complete 1Yr 1.5T and Complete 3Yr 3T, from the ADNI database were used for training and testing. A random split approach was used, allocating 60% for training and 20% for testing and validation, resulting in sample sizes of (211, 70, 70) and (1378, 458, 458), respectively. The performance of our proposed model was compared to various deep learning models, including CNN with BiL-STM and ViT with Bi-LSTM. The suggested technique diagnoses AD with high accuracy (99.048% for binary and 99.014% for multiclass classification), precision, recall, and F-score. Our proposed method offers researchers an approach to more efficient early clinical diagnosis and interventions.

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
