Deep fusion of multi-channel neurophysiological signal for emotion recognition and monitoring
How to fuse multi-channel neurophysiological signals for emotion recognition is emerging as a hot research topic in community of Computational Psychophysiology. Nevertheless, prior feature engineering based approaches require extracting various domain knowledge related features at a high time cost. Moreover, traditional fusion method cannot fully utilise correlation information between different channels and frequency components. In this paper, we design a hybrid deep learning model, in which the 'Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)' is utilised for extracting task-related features, as well as mining inter-channel and inter-frequency correlation, besides, the 'Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)' is concatenated for integrating contextual information from the frame cube sequence. Experiments are carried out in a trial-level emotion recognition task, on the DEAP benchmarking dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms the classical methods, with regard to both of the emotional dimensions of Valence and Arousal
Thirty Years of Machine Learning: The Road to Pareto-Optimal Wireless Networks
Future wireless networks have a substantial potential in terms of supporting
a broad range of complex compelling applications both in military and civilian
fields, where the users are able to enjoy high-rate, low-latency, low-cost and
reliable information services. Achieving this ambitious goal requires new radio
techniques for adaptive learning and intelligent decision making because of the
complex heterogeneous nature of the network structures and wireless services.
Machine learning (ML) algorithms have great success in supporting big data
analytics, efficient parameter estimation and interactive decision making.
Hence, in this article, we review the thirty-year history of ML by elaborating
on supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning and deep
learning. Furthermore, we investigate their employment in the compelling
applications of wireless networks, including heterogeneous networks (HetNets),
cognitive radios (CR), Internet of things (IoT), machine to machine networks
(M2M), and so on. This article aims for assisting the readers in clarifying the
motivation and methodology of the various ML algorithms, so as to invoke them
for hitherto unexplored services as well as scenarios of future wireless
networks.Comment: 46 pages, 22 fig
End-To-End Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis and Biomarker Identification
As shown in computer vision, the power of deep learning lies in automatically
learning relevant and powerful features for any perdition task, which is made
possible through end-to-end architectures. However, deep learning approaches
applied for classifying medical images do not adhere to this architecture as
they rely on several pre- and post-processing steps. This shortcoming can be
explained by the relatively small number of available labeled subjects, the
high dimensionality of neuroimaging data, and difficulties in interpreting the
results of deep learning methods. In this paper, we propose a simple 3D
Convolutional Neural Networks and exploit its model parameters to tailor the
end-to-end architecture for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our
model can diagnose AD with an accuracy of 94.1\% on the popular ADNI dataset
using only MRI data, which outperforms the previous state-of-the-art. Based on
the learned model, we identify the disease biomarkers, the results of which
were in accordance with the literature. We further transfer the learned model
to diagnose mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the prodromal stage of AD, which
yield better results compared to other methods
Machine Learning for Multiclass Classification and Prediction of Alzheimer\u27s Disease
Alzheimer\u27s disease (AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disorder and a common form of dementia. This research aims to develop machine learning algorithms that diagnose and predict the progression of AD from multimodal heterogonous biomarkers with a focus placed on the early diagnosis. To meet this goal, several machine learning-based methods with their unique characteristics for feature extraction and automated classification, prediction, and visualization have been developed to discern subtle progression trends and predict the trajectory of disease progression.
The methodology envisioned aims to enhance both the multiclass classification accuracy and prediction outcomes by effectively modeling the interplay between the multimodal biomarkers, handle the missing data challenge, and adequately extract all the relevant features that will be fed into the machine learning framework, all in order to understand the subtle changes that happen in the different stages of the disease. This research will also investigate the notion of multitasking to discover how the two processes of multiclass classification and prediction relate to one another in terms of the features they share and whether they could learn from one another for optimizing multiclass classification and prediction accuracy.
This research work also delves into predicting cognitive scores of specific tests over time, using multimodal longitudinal data. The intent is to augment our prospects for analyzing the interplay between the different multimodal features used in the input space to the predicted cognitive scores. Moreover, the power of modality fusion, kernelization, and tensorization have also been investigated to efficiently extract important features hidden in the lower-dimensional feature space without being distracted by those deemed as irrelevant.
With the adage that a picture is worth a thousand words, this dissertation introduces a unique color-coded visualization system with a fully integrated machine learning model for the enhanced diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer\u27s disease. The incentive here is to show that through visualization, the challenges imposed by both the variability and interrelatedness of the multimodal features could be overcome. Ultimately, this form of visualization via machine learning informs on the challenges faced with multiclass classification and adds insight into the decision-making process for a diagnosis and prognosis
MRI-based Multi-task Decoupling Learning for Alzheimer's Disease Detection and MMSE Score Prediction: A Multi-site Validation
Accurately detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD) and predicting mini-mental
state examination (MMSE) score are important tasks in elderly health by
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Most of the previous methods on these two
tasks are based on single-task learning and rarely consider the correlation
between them. Since the MMSE score, which is an important basis for AD
diagnosis, can also reflect the progress of cognitive impairment, some studies
have begun to apply multi-task learning methods to these two tasks. However,
how to exploit feature correlation remains a challenging problem for these
methods. To comprehensively address this challenge, we propose a MRI-based
multi-task decoupled learning method for AD detection and MMSE score
prediction. First, a multi-task learning network is proposed to implement AD
detection and MMSE score prediction, which exploits feature correlation by
adding three multi-task interaction layers between the backbones of the two
tasks. Each multi-task interaction layer contains two feature decoupling
modules and one feature interaction module. Furthermore, to enhance the
generalization between tasks of the features selected by the feature decoupling
module, we propose the feature consistency loss constrained feature decoupling
module. Finally, in order to exploit the specific distribution information of
MMSE score in different groups, a distribution loss is proposed to further
enhance the model performance. We evaluate our proposed method on multi-site
datasets. Experimental results show that our proposed multi-task decoupled
representation learning method achieves good performance, outperforming
single-task learning and other existing state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 15 page
