Introducing Domain Knowledge

In this chapter we will consider another application case of Deep learning: classification of brain images for detection of Alzheimer’s disease. In this particular application of medical imaging domain, Deep NNs have become the mandatory tool. In this chapter we give some highlights on how the usual steps in design of a Deep Neural Network classifier are implemented in the case when domain knowledge has to be considered. But more than that: faithful to our principle of showing new aspects of Deep Learning even in application cases, we will show how information fusion with siamese CNNs helps in increasing of performances of these classifiers.
