MIU Publishes Research on AI’s Potential for Early Alzheimer’s Detection

We are proud to announce that MIU research has been published in the prestigious academic journal Applied Artificial Intelligence.

This publication is a direct testament to our commitment to scientific advancement, and to the quality and impact of our research. It reaffirms MIU’s role in the university mission of actively contributing to global progress.

Data science in the service of healthcare

The article, titled “Automated Machine Learning Approach (AutoML) to Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis and Prognosis,” addresses a critical challenge: the detection and prediction of Alzheimer’s disease, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

The study focuses on the use of Automated Machine Learning (AutoML), a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI), to significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnoses. The core goal of the investigation is to optimize the tools that help doctors identify the disease in its initial stages.

Analyzing the predictive power of PyCaret

The authors of the paper, Pablo Guillén and Enrique Frías-Martínez, explain that their research centered on a rigorous analysis of the popular AutoML tool, PyCaret. Their objective was to assess its effectiveness in classifying and predicting Alzheimer’s using clinical datasets.

While Machine Learning has proven to be a powerful ally in medicine, the process of developing models is often an obstacle. Tools like PyCaret promise to democratize data science, allowing sophisticated models to be applied more quickly.

This MIU research is vital because it examines whether this ease of use can deliver reliable diagnostic accuracy in such a sensitive field. The findings not only confirm the tool’s potential to speed up neuroscience research but also to pave the way toward faster, more accessible medical decision support systems in the future.

A recognition of research excellence

The publication of this article in a high-level academic journal is a clear recognition of the excellence, rigor, and innovation that define MIU City University Miami. It highlights our capacity to address real-world problems and use cutting-edge technology to create innovative solutions.

This achievement reinforces our role as an educational institution that doesn’t just teach for the future, but actively helps build it.

We encourage our entire community to learn more about this research, which promises to accelerate early detection and improve the prognosis of Alzheimer’s disease.
