Most often clinicians require automated computer‐aided MRI classification techniques to substantiate the status of dementia accurately. In this research paper, dragonfly‐based features are used to improve the accuracy of well‐known swarm intelligence algorithms specifically particle swarm optimization, artificial bee colony, and ant colony optimization in dementia classification. Cross‐sectional MRI of 65 non‐dementia and 52 dementia subjects were collected from the OASIS database and analyzed. The dementia classification performance of above‐mentioned three individual swarm intelligence algorithms is compared with non‐swarm intelligence algorithm—Fuzzy C means. A further comparison was made on the improvisation of above‐mentioned swarm intelligence algorithms while using dragonfly‐based features and Fuzzy C means‐based features. Although many swarm intelligence algorithms are reported in the literature, it is ingenious to use dragonfly‐based features for improving the performance of individual swarm intelligence algorithms in dementia classification. With proper weight parameters, Dragonfly‐particle swarm optimization hybrid classifier yields the highest accuracy of 87.18%, whereas all the above‐mentioned individual classifiers yield accuracy of less than 66%.
