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.

arXiv:2603. 20452v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Longitudinal neuroimaging is essential for modeling disease progression in Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet irregular sampling and missing visits pose substantial challenges for learning reliable temporal representations.
arXiv:2606. 18287v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal neuroimaging, integrating functional connectivity from fMRI and structural connectivity from DTI, enables non-invasive analysis of brain networks using graph neural networks.
In longitudinal Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis support, clinical and imaging information is often collected at irregular visits. Integrating these multimodal observations may improve diagnostic assessment, but naive fusion can degrade performance when MRI is noisy or intermittently unavailable.
MINT (Multimodal Imaging-to-Speech Knowledge Transfer) is a three-stage framework that transfers MRI-derived biomarkers to speech representations for early Alzheimer’s screening. An MRI teacher creates a compact embedding space for CN‑versus‑MCI classification, and a residual projection head aligns speech features to this space using a geometric loss, allowing imaging‑free inference. Experiments on ADNI‑4 show that aligned speech matches speech baselines, while multimodal fusion outperforms MRI alone, and ablations highlight dropout regularization and self‑supervised pretraining as key design choices.
