• Abstract summary: Brain maturation and geometric features can be used with machine learning models for predicting later neurodevelopmental deficits. We developed an ensemble learning framework, which is referred to as OAP Ensemble Learning (OAP-EL) We applied the OAP-EL to predict cognitive deficits at 2 year of age using quantitative brain maturation and geometric features obtained at term equivalent age in very preterm infants.

• Abstract: Structural magnetic resonance imaging studies have shown that brain anatomical abnormalities are associated with cognitive deficits in preterm infants. Brain maturation and geometric features can be used with machine learning models for predicting later neurodevelopmental deficits. However, traditional machine learning models would suffer from a large feature-to-instance ratio (i.e., a large number of features but a small number of instances/samples). Ensemble learning is a paradigm that strategically generates and integrates a library of machine learning classifiers and has been successfully used on a wide variety of predictive modeling problems to boost model performance. Attribute (i.e., feature) bagging method is the most commonly used feature partitioning scheme, which randomly and repeatedly draws feature subsets from the entire feature set. Although attribute bagging method can effectively reduce feature dimensionality to handle the large feature-to-instance ratio, it lacks consideration of domain knowledge and latent relationship among features. In this study, we proposed a novel Ontology-guided Attribute Partitioning (OAP) method to better draw feature subsets by considering domain-specific relationship among features. With the better partitioned feature subsets, we developed an ensemble learning framework, which is referred to as OAP Ensemble Learning (OAP-EL). We applied the OAP-EL to predict cognitive deficits at 2 year of age using quantitative brain maturation and geometric features obtained at term equivalent age in very preterm infants. We demonstrated that the proposed OAP-EL approach significantly outperformed the peer ensemble learning and traditional machine learning approaches.

These results suggest that the BDEC parcellation captures the functional characteristics of the brain and holds promise for future voxel-wise brain network analysis.

  In real-world reinforcement learning applications the learner's observation space is ubiquitously high-dimensional with both relevant and irrelevant information about the task at hand. We introduce a new problem setting for reinforcement learning, the Exogenous Decision Process (ExoMDP), in which the state space admits an (unknown) factorization into a small controllable component and a large irrelevant component. We provide a new algorithm, ExoRL, which learns a near-optimal policy with sample complexity in the size of the endogenous component.

In this paper, we show that the causal hierarchy theorem (Thm. 1, Bareinboim et al., 2020) still holds for neural models. We introduce a special type of SCM called a neural causal model (NCM), and formalize a new type of inductive bias to encode structural constraints necessary for performing causal inferences.
