Abstract(in English) As the population ages, the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is expected to increase. AD causes progressive brain atrophy, making it difficult to perform even simple daily tasks. Although medical advances have made it possible to control the progression of AD with medication, it is necessary to detect AD in its early stages for effective treatment. In this paper, we propose an AD identification method using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to assist doctors in diagnosis. Training CNN using the scores obtained from cognitive function tests makes the AD identification method robust to noisy labels. Through experiments using a large-scale database, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.
