Temporal Change Analysis Based Recommender System for Alzheimer Disease Classification

The development of recommender systems gathered momentum due to its relevance and application in providing a personalized recommendation on a product or a service for customer relations management. It has proliferated into medicine and its allied domains for the recommendations on disease prediction/detection, medicine, treatment, and other medical services. This chapter describes a new composite and comprehensive recommender system named Temporal Change Analysis based Recommender System for Alzheimer Disease Classification (TCA-RS-AD) using a deep learning model. Its performance is evaluated on the dataset with T1-weighted MRI clinical temporal data of OASIS and the results were recorded in terms of Precision, Recall, F1-Score and Accuracy, Hamming Loss, Cohens Kappa Coefficient, and Matthews Correlation Coefficient. The improved accuracy of this recommendation model endorses its suitability for its application in the classification of AD.
