Such heterogeneity is often associated with demographic aspects (e.g., sex) or disease-related contributors (e.g., genetics). Thus, the predictive power of machine learning models used for symptom prediction varies across subjects based on such factors. To model this heterogeneity, one can assign each training sample a factor-dependent weight, which modulates the subject's contribution to the overall objective loss function. To this end, we propose to model the subject weights as a linear combination of the eigenbases of a spectral population graph that captures the similarity of factors across subjects. In doing so, the learned weights smoothly vary across the graph, highlighting sub-cohorts with high and low predictability. Our proposed sample weighting scheme is evaluated on two tasks. First, we predict initiation of heavy alcohol drinking in young adulthood from imaging and neuropsychological measures from the National Consortium on Alcohol and NeuroDevelopment in Adolescence (NCANDA). Next, we detect Dementia <i>vs</i>. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) using imaging and demographic measurements in subjects from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Compared to existing sample weighting schemes, our sample weights improve interpretability and highlight sub-cohorts with distinct characteristics and varying model accuracy.</p>","PeriodicalId":92572,"journal":{"name":"PRedictive Intelligence in MEdicine.

As the time available for clinical office visits shortens and medical imaging data become more widely available, patient image data could be used to opportunistically identify patients for additional T2DM diagnostic workup by physicians. We investigated whether image-derived phenotypic data could be leveraged in tabular learning classifier models to predict T2DM risk in an automated fashion to flag high-risk patients <i>without</i> the need for additional blood laboratory measurements. In contrast to traditional binary classifiers, we leverage neural networks and decision tree models to represent patient data as 'SynthA1c' latent variables, which mimic blood hemoglobin A1c empirical lab measurements, that achieve sensitivities as high as 87.6%. To evaluate how SynthA1c models may generalize to other patient populations, we introduce a novel generalizable metric that uses vanilla data augmentation techniques to predict model performance on input out-of-domain covariates. We show that image-derived phenotypes and physical examination data together can accurately predict diabetes risk as a means of opportunistic risk stratification enabled by artificial intelligence and medical imaging.

For example, the curvature scores computed by Freesurfer are not released by the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. One can address this issue by simply reapplying Freesurfer to the data set. However, this approach is generally computationally and labor intensive (e.g., requiring quality control). An alternative is to impute the missing measurements via a deep learning approach. However, the state-of-the-art is designed to estimate randomly missing values rather than entire measurements. We therefore propose to re-frame the imputation problem as a prediction task on another (public) data set that contains the missing measurements and shares some ROI measurements with the data sets of interest. A deep learning model is then trained to predict the missing measurements from the shared ones and afterwards is applied to the other data sets. Our proposed algorithm models the dependencies between ROI measurements via a graph neural network (GNN) and accounts for demographic differences in brain measurements (e.g. sex) by feeding the graph encoding into a parallel architecture. The architecture simultaneously optimizes a graph decoder to impute values and a classifier in predicting demographic factors.

Detecting motion artifacts often relies on experts visually inspecting MRIs, which is subjective and expensive. To improve this detection, we develop a framework to automatically quantify the severity of motion artifact within a brain MRI. We formulate this task as a regression problem and train the regressor from a data set of MRIs with various amounts of motion artifacts. To resolve the issue of missing fine-grained ground-truth labels (level of artifacts), we propose Adversarial Bayesian Optimization (ABO) to infer the distribution of motion parameters (i.e., rotation and translation) underlying the acquired MRI data and then inject synthetic motion artifacts sampled from that estimated distribution into motion-free MRIs. After training the regressor on the synthetic data, we applied the model to quantify the motion level in 990 MRIs collected by the National Consortium on Alcohol and Neurodevelopment in Adolescence.
