Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Machine learning research into automated dementia diagnosis is becoming increasingly popular but so far has had limited clinical impact. A key challenge is building robust and generalizable models that generate decisions that can be reliably explained. Some models are designed to be inherently "interpretable," whereas post hoc "explainability" methods can be used for other models.
