• Abstract: Normative modeling is an emerging and promising approach to effectively study disorder heterogeneity in individual participants. In this study, we propose a novel normative modeling method by combining conditional variational autoencoder with adversarial learning (ACVAE) to identify brain dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Specifically, we first train a conditional VAE on the healthy control (HC) group to create a normative model conditioned on covariates like age, gender and intracranial volume. Then we incorporate an adversarial training process to construct a discriminative feature space that can better generalize to unseen data. Finally, we compute deviations from the normal criterion at the patient level to determine which brain regions were associated with AD. Our experiments on OASIS-3 database show that the deviation maps generated by our model exhibit higher sensitivity to AD compared to other deep normative models, and are able to better identify differences between the AD and HC groups.

  We introduce a novel normative modeling approach that incorporates focal loss and adversarial autoencoders (FAAE) for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) diagnosis and biomarker identification. Our method is an end-to-end approach that embeds an adversarial focal loss discriminator within the autoencoder structure.

  Alzheimer's Disease (AD) detection has emerged as a promising research area that employs machine learning classification models. We identify within-class variation as a critical challenge in AD detection: individuals with AD exhibit a spectrum of cognitive impairments. We propose two novel methods: Soft Target Distillation (SoTD) and Instance-level Re-balancing (InRe), targeting two problems respectively.

• Improving Normative Modeling for Multi-modal Neuroimaging Data using mixture-of-product-of-experts variational autoencoders [0.0]
  Existing variational autoencoder (VAE)-based normative models aggregate information from multiple modalities by estimating product or averaging of unimodal latent posteriors. This can often lead to uninformative joint latent distributions which affects the estimation of subject-level deviations. We adopted the Mixture-of-Product-of-Experts technique which allows better modelling of the joint latent posterior.

  Alzheimer's disease (AD) is particularly prominent in older adults. Recent advances in pre-trained models motivate AD detection modeling to shift from low-level features to high-level representations. This paper presents several efficient methods to extract better AD-related cues from high-level acoustic and linguistic features.

  Deep autoencoders have been implemented as normative models, where patient-level deviations are modelled as the squared difference between the actual and reconstructed input without any uncertainty estimates in the deviations. In this study, we assessed a novel normative modeling based variational autoencoder (VAE) which calculates subject-level normative abnormality maps (NAM) for quantifying uncertainty in the deviations.
