Prediction of Alzheimer’s Disease Based on Multi-Modal Domain Adaptation by Binbin Fu, Changsong Shen, Shuzu Liao, Fangxiang Wu, Bo Liao

“…Specifically, MM-DDA comprises three primary modules: (1) the feature encoding module, which employs convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to capture detailed and abstract feature representations from MRI and PET images; (2) the multi-head attention feature fusion module, which is used to fuse MRI and PET features, that is, to capture rich semantic information between modes from multiple angles by dynamically adjusting weights, so as to achieve more flexible and efficient feature fusion; and (3) the domain transfer module, which reduces the distributional discrepancies between the source and target domains by employing adversarial learning training. <b>Results:</b> We selected 639 subjects from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and considered two transfer learning settings. …”
