[Classification of Alzheimer's disease based on multi-example learning and multi-scale feature fusion].

Alzheimer's disease (AD) classification models usually segment the entire brain image into voxel blocks and assign them labels consistent with the entire image, but not every voxel block is closely related to the disease. To this end, an AD auxiliary diagnosis framework based on weakly supervised multi-instance learning (MIL) and multi-scale feature fusion is proposed, and the framework is designed from three aspects: within the voxel block, between voxel blocks, and high-confidence voxel blocks. First, a three-dimensional convolutional neural network was used to extract deep features within the voxel block; then the spatial correlation information between voxel blocks was captured through position encoding and attention mechanism; finally, high-confidence voxel blocks were selected and combined with multi-scale information fusion strategy to integrate key features for classification decision.
