Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting the central nervous system and cognitive processes, explicitly impairing detailed mental analysis. Throughout this condition, the affected individual’s cognitive abilities to process and analyze information gradually deteriorate, resulting in mental decline. In recent years, there has been a notable increase in endeavors aimed at identifying Alzheimer’s disease and addressing its progression. Research studies have demonstrated the significant involvement of genetic factors, stress, and nutrition in developing this condition. The utilization of computer-aided analysis models based on machine learning and artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly enhance the exploration of various neuroimaging methods and non-image biomarkers. This study conducts a comparative assessment of more than 80 publications that have been published since 2017. Alzheimer’s disease detection is facilitated by utilizing fundamental machine learning architectures such as support vector machines, decision trees, and ensemble models. Furthermore, around 50 papers that utilized a specific architectural or design approach concerning Alzheimer’s disease were examined. The body of literature under consideration has been categorized and elucidated through the utilization of data-related, methodology-related, and medical-fostering components to illustrate the underlying challenges. The conclusion section of our study encompasses a discussion of prospective avenues for further investigation and furnishes recommendations for future research activities on the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.
The oceans and other marine ecosystems are indispensable to life, so the understanding and knowledge of their biodiversity is crucial to the use of their resources and exploration. These environments are complex and difficult to access, so different types of remote sensing technologies are used to study them. These intelligent sensors can collect a massive amount of data, which, once reviewed and analyzed, can help to draw conclusions and increase knowledge of these underwater environments. Manually reviewing and organizing through this large amount of information is both time-consuming and costly. Therefore, it is advisable to employ automated techniques from machine learning and deep learning fields. In recent years, these methods have proven to be efficient and have obtained very good results in solving different problems applied to the marine world: image enhancement, image classification, segmentation and object detection. This paper presents a systematic review, conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, aimed at summarizing the methods used to address underwater problems and their reported results.
