However, existing data-driven methods fail to provide a comprehensive analysis of brain heterogeneity. Recently, dynamic neural networks (DNNs) have shown significant advantages in capturing sample-wise heterogeneity. Therefore, in this article, we first propose a novel dynamic heterogeneity-aware network (DHANet) to identify critical heterogeneous brain regions, explore heterogeneous connectivity between them, and construct a heterogeneous-aware structural brain network (HGA-SBN) using structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI). Specifically, we develop a 3-D dynamic convmixer to extract abundant heterogeneous features from sMRI first. Subsequently, the critical brain atrophy regions are identified by dynamic prototype learning with embedding the hierarchical brain semantic structure. Finally, we employ a joint dynamic edge-correlation (JDE) modeling approach to construct the heterogeneous connectivity between these regions and analyze the HGA-SBN. To evaluate the effectiveness of the DHANet, we conduct elaborate experiments on three public datasets and the method achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on two classification tasks.","PeriodicalId":13303,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144122161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there are two inherent deviations in the basic framework, i.e., representation and target deviations, resulting in performance bottlenecks. The representation deviation is caused by transforming various scales of instances into a unified input size, which results in performance degradation because data with different scale-related characteristics can hardly be handled via unified parameters. The target deviation is caused by exploiting a prior distribution (e.g., Gauss) to model the prediction error, which hinders sufficient network training. In this article, we propose a novel framework called DRPose to revise the abovementioned deviations. Specifically, to address the representation deviation, a scale-aware domain bridging (SDB) block is proposed to transfer feature maps from multiple scale-dependent domains into a unified intermediate domain with dynamic parameters. To address the target deviation, a differentiable coordinate decoder (DCD) is presented to adaptively adjust target distribution of heatmaps in an end-to-end manner. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method significantly improves the performance of most existing models with negligible additional cost. Beyond this, our method achieves 77.1% AP on the COCO test-dev set, outperforming prior works with similar model complexity.","PeriodicalId":13303,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144122160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While SVMs are widely successful in real-world deployments, they remain susceptible to mislabeled examples in training datasets where the presence of few faults can severely affect decision boundaries, thereby affecting the model's performance on unseen data. In this brief, we develop and describe in implementation detail a novel method based on $L_{1}$ -norm principal-component data analysis and geometry that aims to filter out atypical data instances on a class-by-class basis before the training phase of SVMs and thus provide the classifier with robust support-vector candidates for making classification boundaries. The proposed dataset curation method is entirely data-driven (touch-free), unsupervised, and computationally efficient. Extensive experimental studies on real datasets included in this brief illustrate the $L_{1}$ -norm curation method and demonstrate its efficacy in protecting SVM models from data faults during learning.","PeriodicalId":13303,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144122162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
