   Proposal Description:
   1) Transfer Learning:                                                              a) To apply the transfer learning technique, which borrows Deep Learning methods trained by other types of images on classifying medical images of interest. The feasibility of transfer learning will be investigated in this project.                                                                           b) Fine-tuning methods, which study the effect of individual layers of neural network and adjust their parameters to better deal with the data on hands, will be developed in this project for tuning the 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) built for brain image analysis.                                             2) Performance Evaluation:                                                         a) To examine the classification accuracy of the extremely streamlined DL procedure for classifying AD and CU subjects.
