This work studies the Wasserstein space and proposes a novel framework to compute the Wasserstein distance between general topological surfaces by integrating hyperbolic Ricci flow, hyperbolic harmonic map, and hyperbolic power Voronoi diagram algorithms. The resulting hyperbolic Wasserstein distance can intrinsically measure the similarity between general topological surfaces.

We propose a threshold-free feature by integrating a prior persistent homology-based topological feature (the zeroth Betti number) and a newly defined connected component aggregation cost feature to model brain networks over all possible scales. We show that the induced topological feature (Integrated Persistent Feature – IPF) follows a monotonically decreasing convergence function and further propose to use its slope as a concise and persistent brain network topological measure.

We use tetrahedral mesh as a volumetric modeling method for analyzing the cerebral cortex thickness morphometry. A discriminative heat flux signature (tHFS) and an affiliated diffeomorphic metric, the tHFS distance, are proposed. The new thickness descriptor performs significantly better in disease severity classification experiments.

We introduce a novel Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) model compression approach DirNet based on an optimized fast dictionary learning algorithm, which 1) dynamically mines the dictionary atoms of the projection dictionary matrix within layer to adjust the compression rate 2) adaptively changes the sparsity of sparse codes cross the hierarchical layers. Experimental results on language model and an ASR model trained with a 1000h speech dataset demonstrate that our method reduces the size of original model by eight times with real-time model inference and negligible accuracy loss.

We proposed a novel isometry invariant shape descriptor, based on area-preserving mapping, for brain morphometry analysis to help assess Alzheimer's Disease influence on cortical surface. Our method out-performs the Spherical Harmonic, weighted Spherical Harmonic, and Freesurfer thickness based methods on a dataset with beta-amyloid plaques confirmed subjects.

Abstract: Cortical thickness estimation performed via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an effective measure of brain atrophy in preclinical individuals at high risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the high dimensionality of individual cortical thickness data coupled with small population samples make it challenging to perform cortical thickness feature selection for AD diagnosis and prognosis. Thus far, there are very few methods that can accurately predict future clinical scores using longitudinal cortical thickness measures. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised dictionary learning algorithm, termed Multi-task Sparse Screening (MSS) that produces improved results over previous methods within this problem domain. Specifically, we formulate and solve a multi-task proablem using extracted top-significant features from the ADNI longitudinal data. Empirical studies on publicly available longitudinal data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset () demonstrate improved correlation coefficients and root mean square errors, when compared to other algorithms.

Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases in elderly and the incidence of this disease is increasing with older ages. One of the hallmarks of AD is the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques Aβ in human brains. Most of prior brain imaging researchers used the clinical symptom based diagnosis without the confirmation of imaging or fluid Aβ information. In this work, we study hippocampus morphometry on a cohort consisting of Aβ positive AD (N=151) and matched Aβ negative cognitively unimpaired subjects (N=271) with Aβ positivity determined via florbetapir PET. The brain images are obtained from publicly available Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). We compute our surface multivariate morphometry statistics from segmented hippocampus structure in structural MR images. With these features, we find statistically significant difference by using Hotelling's tests. Meanwhile, we apply a patch-based analysis of sparse coding system for binary group classification and achieve an accuracy rate of 90.48%. Our results demonstrate that our surface multivariate morphometry statistics (MMS) perform better than traditional hippocampal volume measures in classification and it may be applied as a potential biomarker for distinguishing dementia due to AD from age matched normal aging individuals.
