Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is linked with abridged ability in social behavior. Scientists working in the broader domain of cognitive sciences have done a lot of research to discover the root cause of ASD, but its biomarkers are still unknown. Some studies from the domain of neuroscience have highlighted the fact that corpus callosum and intracranial brain volume hold significant information for the detection of ASD. Taking inspiration from such findings, in this article, we have proposed a machine learning based framework for automatic detection of ASD using features extracted from corpus callosum and intracranial brain volume. Our proposed framework has not only achieved good recognition accuracy but has also reduced the complexity of training machine learning model by selecting features that are most significant in terms of discriminative capabilities for classification of ASD. Second, for benchmarking and to verify potential of deep learning on analyzing neuroimaging data, in this article, we have presented results achieved by using the transfer learning approach. For this purpose, we have used the pre-trained VGG16 model for the classification of ASD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
