HyperBrain: Anomaly Detection for Temporal Hypergraph Brain Networks
- 将脑功能MRI数据建模为时序超图,捕捉多区域协同动态关系。
- 在自闭症与多动症数据上,异常检测准确率显著优于现有方法。
- 可定位与疾病相关的异常脑区协同模式,适合神经科学与临床研究者。
识别异常脑活动是神经科学研究的关键任务,有助于脑疾病的早期发现。当前脑网络常以图结构表示,但多数图学习方法存在三大局限:仅关注脑区间的成对关联,忽略大群体的同步活动;将脑网络视为静态结构,未考虑其随时间变化的特性;且多用于健康/病变分类,无法定位与疾病生物标志物相关的异常活动模式。为此,我们提出HyperBrain,一种面向时序超图脑网络的无监督异常检测框架。该框架将功能性MRI时间序列建模为动态高阶超图,捕捉脑区间更高阶的动态交互关系。通过创新设计的时序游走(BrainWalk)和神经编码机制,有效检测脑区间的异常协同激活。我们在自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)和注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的合成与真实数据集上评估了性能,结果表明HyperBrain在检测异常协同激活方面优于所有基线方法,且其发现与临床研究成果一致。研究显示,学习脑网络中时序性和高阶连接,是揭示复杂脑连接模式、提升诊断能力的有前景路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Identifying unusual brain activity is a crucial task in neuroscience research, as it aids in the early detection of brain disorders. It is common to represent brain networks as graphs, and researchers have developed various graph-based machine learning methods for analyzing them. However, the majority of existing graph learning tools for the brain face a combination of the following three key limitations. First, they focus only on pairwise correlations between regions of the brain, limiting their ability to capture synchronized activity among larger groups of regions. Second, they model the brain network as a static network, overlooking the temporal changes in the brain. Third, most are designed only for classifying brain networks as healthy or disordered, lacking the ability to identify abnormal brain activity patterns linked to biomarkers associated with disorders. To address these issues, we present HyperBrain, an unsupervised anomaly detection framework for temporal hypergraph brain networks. HyperBrain models fMRI time series data as temporal hypergraphs capturing dynamic higher-order interactions. It then uses a novel customized temporal walk (BrainWalk) and neural encodings to detect abnormal co-activations among brain regions. We evaluate the performance of HyperBrain in both synthetic and real-world settings for Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD). HyperBrain outperforms all other baselines on detecting abnormal co-activations in brain networks. Furthermore, results obtained from HyperBrain are consistent with clinical research on these brain disorders. Our findings suggest that learning temporal and higher-order connections in the brain provides a promising approach to uncover intricate connectivity patterns in brain networks, offering improved diagnosis.
