Low-rank dimensionality reduction for multi-modality neurodegenerative disease identification

초록

In this paper, we propose a novel dimensionality reduction method of taking the advantages of the variability, sparsity, and low-rankness of neuroimaging data for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) classification. We first take the variability of neuroimaging data into account by partitioning them into sub-classes by means of clustering, which thus captures the underlying multi-peak distributional characteristics in neuroimaging data. We then iteratively conduct Low-Rank Dimensionality Reduction (LRDR) and orthogonal rotation in a sparse linear regression framework, in order to find the low-dimensional structure of high-dimensional data. Experimental results on the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset showed that our proposed model helped enhance the performances of AD classification, outperforming the state-of-the-art methods.
