Estimating Reproducible Functional Networks Associated with Task Dynamics using Unsupervised LSTMs

no code implementations6 May 2021 Nicha C. Dvornek, Pamela Ventola, James S. Duncan

We demonstrate that the functional networks learned by the LSTM model are more strongly associated with the task activity and dynamics compared to other approaches.

Demographic-Guided Attention in Recurrent Neural Networks for Modeling Neuropathophysiological Heterogeneity

no code implementations15 Apr 2021 Nicha C. Dvornek, Xiaoxiao Li, Juntang Zhuang, Pamela Ventola, James S. Duncan

Heterogeneous presentation of a neurological disorder suggests potential differences in the underlying pathophysiological changes that occur in the brain.

Multiple-shooting adjoint method for whole-brain dynamic causal modeling

no code implementations14 Feb 2021 Juntang Zhuang, Nicha Dvornek, Sekhar Tatikonda, Xenophon Papademetris, Pamela Ventola, James Duncan

Furthermore, MSA uses the adjoint method for accurate gradient estimation in the ODE; since the adjoint method is generic, MSA is a generic method for both linear and non-linear systems, and does not require re-derivation of the algorithm as in EM.

Pooling Regularized Graph Neural Network for fMRI Biomarker Analysis

no code implementations29 Jul 2020 Xiaoxiao Li, Yuan Zhou, Nicha C. Dvornek, Muhan Zhang, Juntang Zhuang, Pamela Ventola, James S. Duncan

We propose an interpretable GNN framework with a novel salient region selection mechanism to determine neurological brain biomarkers associated with disorders.

Multi-site fMRI Analysis Using Privacy-preserving Federated Learning and Domain Adaptation: ABIDE Results

1 code implementation16 Jan 2020 Xiaoxiao Li, Yufeng Gu, Nicha Dvornek, Lawrence Staib, Pamela Ventola, James S. Duncan

However, to effectively train a high-quality deep learning model, the aggregation of a significant amount of patient information is required.

Sparsely Grouped Input Variables for Neural Networks

1 code implementation29 Nov 2019 Beibin Li, Nicholas Nuechterlein, Erin Barney, Caitlin Hudac, Pamela Ventola, Linda Shapiro, Frederick Shic

In genomic analysis, biomarker discovery, image recognition, and other systems involving machine learning, input variables can often be organized into different groups by their source or semantic category.

Graph Embedding Using Infomax for ASD Classification and Brain Functional Difference Detection

no code implementations9 Aug 2019 Xiaoxiao Li, Nicha C. Dvornek, Juntang Zhuang, Pamela Ventola, James Duncan

Here, we model the whole brain fMRI as a graph, which preserves geometrical and temporal information and use a Graph Neural Network (GNN) to learn from the graph-structured fMRI data.

A Facial Affect Analysis System for Autism Spectrum Disorder

no code implementations7 Apr 2019 Beibin Li, Sachin Mehta, Deepali Aneja, Claire Foster, Pamela Ventola, Frederick Shic, Linda Shapiro

In this paper, we introduce an end-to-end machine learning-based system for classifying autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using facial attributes such as expressions, action units, arousal, and valence.

Efficient Interpretation of Deep Learning Models Using Graph Structure and Cooperative Game Theory: Application to ASD Biomarker Discovery

no code implementations14 Dec 2018 Xiaoxiao Li, Nicha C. Dvornek, Yuan Zhou, Juntang Zhuang, Pamela Ventola, James S. Duncan

Cooperative game theory is advantageous here because it directly considers the interaction between features and can be applied to any machine learning method, making it a novel, more accurate way of determining instance-wise biomarker importance from deep learning models.

Brain Biomarker Interpretation in ASD Using Deep Learning and fMRI

no code implementations23 Aug 2018 Xiaoxiao Li, Nicha C. Dvornek, Juntang Zhuang, Pamela Ventola, James S. Duncan

Therefore, in this work, we address the problem of interpreting reliable biomarkers associated with identifying ASD; specifically, we propose a 2-stage method that classifies ASD and control subjects using fMRI images and interprets the saliency features activated by the classifier.

Prediction of Autism Treatment Response from Baseline fMRI using Random Forests and Tree Bagging

no code implementations24 May 2018 Nicha C. Dvornek, Daniel Yang, Archana Venkataraman, Pamela Ventola, Lawrence H. Staib, Kevin A. Pelphrey, James S. Duncan

We propose predicting patient response to PRT from baseline task-based fMRI by the novel application of a random forest and tree bagging strategy.
