Explainable Graph-theoretical Machine Learning with Application to Alzheimer's Disease Prediction

The paper introduces Explainable Graph-theoretical Machine Learning (XGML) to build individual metabolic brain graphs from FDG-PET data and identify subgraphs predictive of multivariate Alzheimer’s disease outcomes. Using ADNI data, the best model—kernel density estimation with Hellinger distance and random forest—achieved a Pearson correlation of 0.595 across eight cognitive scores, with the highest performance on ADAS13, ADAS11, and ADASQ4. Key edges were found to be jointly but differentially predictive, indicating potential network biomarkers for cognitive decline, though external validation on OASIS3 showed weaker performance likely due to cohort differences.

Supervised Deep Multimodal Matrix Factorization for Interpretable Brain Network Analysis

The paper introduces Supervised Deep Multimodal Matrix Factorization (SD3MF), an interpretable framework that extends Symmetric Nonnegative Matrix Tri-Factorization to supervised prediction across populations of multimodal brain graphs. SD3MF learns deep hierarchical factorizations for each modality and a shared latent representation, jointly optimizing graph reconstruction and prediction while enabling data-driven multimodal fusion. Experiments on multimodal connectome datasets demonstrate that SD3MF outperforms strong deep learning baselines such as CNNs and GNNs, providing biologically interpretable insights through community-level interaction matrices.

Predicting Therapeutic Outcome via Aligning Patient-Specific Knowledge Graph and Gene-Level Perturbation Representations

arXiv:2607. 04557v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate prediction of patient-specific therapeutic response from pre-treatment transcriptomes is hindered by the scarcity of matched clinical response labels and post-treatment molecular profiles.

Interpretable Retinal Disease Prediction Using Biology-Informed Heterogeneous Graph Representations

The paper introduces a biology-informed heterogeneous graph representation that models retinal vessel segments, intercapillary areas, and the foveal avascular zone to predict diabetic retinopathy stages from OCTA images. This graph-based approach reframes staging as a graph-level classification task solved with a graph neural network, achieving AUC-ROC values up to 84% and outperforming biomarker-based classifiers, CNNs, and vision transformers. The method also provides detailed, interpretable explanations by precisely localizing abnormal vessels and non-perfusion areas.

Predicting Therapeutic Outcome via Aligning Patient-Specific Knowledge Graph and Gene-Level Perturbation Representations

Accurate prediction of patient-specific therapeutic response from pre-treatment transcriptomes is hindered by the scarcity of matched clinical response labels and post-treatment molecular profiles. Preclinical transfer-learning models can simulate drug-induced expression changes but are often hard to interpret and unstable, whereas knowledge-graph methods provide mechanistic context yet remain static and fail to capture drug-induced transcriptomic perturbation dynamics.
