# Efficient-AD: An EfficientNetB0-based CNN Model for Alzheimer's Disease Detection

Hey there! 👋 I am thrilled to introduce Efficient-AD, a cutting-edge Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model designed specifically for detecting Alzheimer's disease using brain MRI scans. This innovative model is built upon the EfficientNetB0 architecture, showcasing remarkable accuracy and performance.

## What Sets Efficient-AD Apart?

Alzheimer's disease poses a significant challenge, impacting cognitive functions and necessitating early detection for effective intervention. Efficient-AD takes a giant leap in Alzheimer's detection, achieving an outstanding accuracy of 99.06%. This model is the result of meticulous research and optimization, addressing the limitations of existing CNN architectures.

## Key Features:
- **EfficientNetB0 Backbone:** Leveraging the power of EfficientNetB0, known for its exceptional balance of accuracy and efficiency.
- **Deep Funnel Architecture:** We've fine-tuned the architecture with a deep funnel design, enhancing the model's capacity to understand complex patterns within MRI scans.
- **Transfer Learning Magic:** Efficient-AD is pre-trained on ImageNet, providing a foundation for learning intricate features and fine-tuned for Alzheimer's disease detection.
- **ReLU Activation Function:** Harnessing the benefits of Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU), ensuring faster convergence and improved gradient flow during training.

## Performance Overview:

Efficient-AD showcases superior performance, outperforming other state-of-the-art models like DenseNet121, NASNetMobile, and VGG16. It excels in accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, making it a frontrunner in Alzheimer's disease detection.
