arXiv:2607. 28681v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a widely used technique for studying the brain.
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.

UniAR is a unified framework that improves autism spectrum disorder (ASD) recognition by using multi-granularity prompt learning and a large multimodal model to generate diagnostic descriptions at word, phrase, and sentence levels. It aligns these semantic representations with visual evidence through a Mixture-of-Experts-based Multi-Scale Alignment Module, enabling robust ASD detection across heterogeneous data types. Experiments on four brain MRI and facial expression benchmarks show that UniAR outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods, achieving 75.9% accuracy on MRI and 91.6% on facial benchmarks, with gains of 1.5 and 1.2 percentage points respectively.
arXiv:2601. 14590v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Counterfactual explanations (CFEs) provide human-centric interpretability by identifying the minimal, actionable changes required to alter a machine learning model's prediction.
The paper introduces the Counterfactual Graph Neural Process (CFGNP), an end‑to‑end method that directly answers counterfactual queries from observational data without first estimating a causal graph. CFGNP employs Graph Neural Networks to leverage a dual‑graph structure, limiting cross‑world message passing to matched factual–counterfactual variables. Experiments on synthetic and image‑based datasets, including the German Loan benchmark, show that CFGNP outperforms existing methods, reducing mean‑squared error from $4.51 imes10^{-2}$ to $0.19 imes10^{-2}$, and generalizes from 10‑node to 30‑node graphs without retraining.
