Abstract

Neurodegenerative diseases are excessively affecting millions of patients, especially elderly people. Early detection and management of these diseases are crucial as the clinical symptoms take years to appear after the onset of neuro-degeneration. This paper proposes an adaptive feature learning framework using multiple templates for early diagnosis. A multi-classification scheme is developed based on multiple brain parcellation atlases with various regions of interest. Different sets of features are extracted and then fused, and a feature selection is applied with an adaptively chosen sparse degree. In addition, both linear discriminative analysis and locally preserving projections are integrated to construct a least square regression model. Finally, we propose a feature space to predict the severity of the disease by the guidance of clinical scores. Our proposed method is validated on both Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative and Parkinson's progression markers initiative databases. Extensive experimental results suggest that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods, such as the multi-modal multi-task learning or joint sparse learning. Our method demonstrates that accurate feature learning facilitates the identification of the highly relevant brain regions with significant contribution in the prediction of disease progression. This may pave the way for further medical analysis and diagnosis in practical applications. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
