Abstract:

To precisely distinguish progressive and stable mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The projection matrix was learned from Alzheimer′s disease samples and normal control samples. The supervised graph regularization was used to optimize the local nearest neighbor relationship of the samples. Based on the projection matrix, the spatial transformation of the MCI samples was carried out to extract the discriminative features of progressive and stable MCI. The proposed features were fused with the scores of Mini-Mental State Examination and apolipoprotein E4. The SVM classifier was trained using the fused features for the MCI classification. The experiments were conduct on the Alzheimer′s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. The classification accuracy reached to 73.33%. Compared with the existing approaches, the proposed method significantly improved the classification accuracy, sensitivity and specificity.

Key words: mild cognitive impairment, supervised graph regularization, information fusion, feature extraction, classification
