arXiv:2607. 26746v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate identification of Alzheimers disease (AD) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) remains challenging due to the high dimensionality, noise, and complex inter-regional dependencies inherent in functional brain connectivity, which limit the effectiveness of traditional approaches based on handcrafted connectivity features or conventional machine learning models.

Brain networks exhibit a modular community structure that varies across individuals and neurological conditions. However, existing self-supervised learning (SSL) methods often overlook this heterogeneity, relying on generic masking strategies that fail to capture subject-specific functional organization.
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.

Functional brain networks exhibit a hierarchical organization across ROI, community, and whole-brain levels, supporting local processing, inter-community coordination, and global integration. Recent studies have demonstrated that brain community-aware modeling is beneficial for both diagnosis and biomarker identification of brain networks.
HyperAMS‑Net is a deep learning framework that classifies brain disorders from resting‑state fMRI or structural MRI data. It combines adaptive multi‑scale convolution, hypergraph attention, spatial‑channel attention, and adaptive feature fusion to capture complementary patterns across multiple scales and higher‑order dependencies. Evaluated on ABIDE, REST‑meta‑MDD, and ADNI datasets, it achieves state‑of‑the‑art accuracy and AUC, with ablation studies showing hypergraph attention as the most critical component.
