摘要:
Deep neural networks have been successfully applied to the classification of brain networks. However, the high-dimensional and small-scale properties of the brain network data limit their extensive applications. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new deep forest framework with cross-shaped window scanning mechanism (DF-CWSM) to extract topological features for the classification of brain networks. The cross-shaped window scanning mechanism is designed to extract the node-level and the edge-level features respectively that have meaningful interpretations in terms of corresponding network topologies. Based on the classification framework, we firstly implement the feature transformation of brain networks by the multi-level topological feature extraction. Then a cascade forest structure is used to learn the hierarchical features layer by layer. And the results of the last level of cascade forests are integrated to make the final classification. We evaluated the proposed framework on the ABIDE I data set. Experimental results show that our proposed framework can not only achieve competitive classification performance but also accurately identify the abnormal brain regions associated with ASD. © 2019 IEEE.
