Multimodal Prediction of Alzheimer's Disease
Washington University in St. Louis — Fall 2024
This project, developed for Washington University's CSE 419A (AI for Health) course, explores early detection of Alzheimer's disease by combining two data modalities from the OASIS-1 dataset: brain MRI scans and clinical/demographic features. A convolutional neural network handles the imaging data, while classical machine learning models (scikit-learn, XGBoost) handle the clinical/tabular data, with predictions from both modalities combined into a final classifier.
The work is documented in a NeurIPS-format report with architecture diagrams for both the CNN and the combined classifier, and was presented as a final project demo for the course.
Highlights
- Multimodal fusion of MRI imaging and clinical/demographic data
- CNN for imaging analysis alongside scikit-learn/XGBoost models for tabular data
- Combined classifier integrating both modalities
- NeurIPS-format written report and presentation
