However, there are significant hurdles to implementing DL, such as the requirement for huge datasets, large computational resources, and careful parameter tuning to avoid overfitting or underfitting. In order to solve the problem of classifying AD using DL, this research provides randomised concatenated feature representations obtained by two pre-trained network models that learn feature information in deep from brain functional schemes of MRI scans simultaneously. To execute the task of AD multiclass classification, we experimented using concatenated CNN of DenseNet and MobileNet. To highlight the discriminating regions from scans for the suggested model prediction, a gradient class activation map has been used. In multiclass classification, the suggested model achieved 98.87 percent accuracy, 98.95 percent precision, and 98.99 percent recall, according to the experimental results. The findings suggest that advanced DL techniques combined with MRI data can be utilised to classify and forecast neurodegenerative brain illnesses such as Alzheimer's.
