Alzheimer Disease Classification Challenge
1. Competition introduction
Alzheimer Disease (AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disease. It is one of the biggest health threats for human beings. The exploration of AD image labeling based on brain image has important clinical significance for the early recognition and timely prevention of AD. This competition aims to improve the accuracy of image-based early recognition of Alzheimer Disease, and promote the development and application of artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning and deep learning in brain science, clinical auxiliary diagnosis and other smart medicine industries. A total of 2,600 cases of multi-center, multi-atlas brain image feature data were opened in this competition. Participants will develop and train models based on these datasets and deploy the models on the Huawei Cloud ModelArts platform for evaluation and ranking. Awards will be given according to the ranking situation on the deadline. The winning solution of the competition will have the opportunity to obtain special resources provided by HUAWEI CLOUD to support project transformation and be integrated into the area of brain auxiliary screening in "Huawei Cloud AI Brain Science Platform".
