Abstract | Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a complex immune-mediated neurologic condition with heterogeneous disease course and diagnostic challenge. In this paper, an AI-based multimodal model is introduced that integrates clinical, MRI, and ophthalmic imaging features for better early diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression, with special focus on EDSS (Expanded Disability Status Scale) score prediction. Several machine learning and deep learning models were evaluated, such as Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and XGBoost. Out of them, XGBoost achieved the highest accuracy (92.72%) and showed enhanced precision, recall, and F1-score for MS conversion prediction. While Logistic Regression performance was slightly worse, high cross-validation stability was shown by it. Feature importance analysis showed MRI-derived markers—more specifically periventricular and infratentorial lesions—and early clinical symptoms as key predictors. Additionally, SHAP-based explainable AI methods were employed in order to enhance the explainability of models and to make them more clinically confidence-generating. The paper establishes the effectiveness of the combination of structured clinical data and imaging biomarkers with state-of-the-art machine learning models to enable early, accurate, and personalized MS treatment. |
