Diagnosing Dementia Disorder Detection Using an Improved Eliminate Particle Swarm Optimization (IEPSO) Based on Convolutional Neural Networks

Dementia is an un-repairable and continuous disease that affects a person's mental health. Symptoms of Dementia may vary from one person to another, there are no effective treatments for detecting Dementia. Machine learning algorithm has proven to be effectively used by many researchers in assisting optimal detection of Dementia. So, this research introduces an improved eliminate particle swarm optimization (IEPSO) based Convolutional Neural Network (IEPSO-CNN) for diagnosing Dementia without causing severe effects effectively. IEPSO is used to find suitable parameters while training the model to improve Dementia detection accuracy. This IEPSO is used for tuning the parameter of the two-level Visual Geometry Group 16 (VGG 16) model. The integration of IEPSO and two hierarchical layers of VGG 16 increases the model's Dementia detection performance. The IEPSO-CNN model performance is evaluated using 6400 Dementia and non-Dementia images. The performance analysis shows that the IEPSO-CNN obtained a maximum accuracy of 99% for detecting the dementia stages.
