Abstract

Brain stroke, known for its high mortality and incidence rates, poses significant health risks and requires rapid intervention for survival. Early diagnosis and preventive measures can greatly reduce life loss and disabilities. Recent advancements in deep learning have led to novel computer-aided diagnostic techniques for early stroke detection. This study proposes an intelligent system that predicts potential strokes using eleven features, evaluated through seven supervised machine learning algorithms. The process includes a literature review, dataset visualization, data preprocessing, and model evaluation. Ensemble methods like Random Forest, Stacking Classifier, and Bagging Classifier achieved high accuracies of 99.52%, while Decision Tree reached 98.24%. Other models, including KNN and TabNet, demonstrated reliable performance, achieving accuracies of 96.73% and 96.49%, respectively. The custom feedforward model achieved 94.91%, while SVC and logistic regression had lower accuracies at 88.06% and 77.03%. The results highlight the effectiveness of ensemble methods in stroke classification.
