  • 通过不同模态独立编码,融合脑成像、激素等多源数据。
  • 在ABCD数据集上区分暴食症与健康人效果优于基线方法。
  • 揭示女性患者激素指标更关键,模型可解释性强。

暴食症(BED)是最常见的进食障碍,但现有诊断仍依赖症状标准,缺乏生物学依据,限制了早期发现和靶向干预。尽管已有研究探索其神经生物学特征,但常受限于假设驱动的参数化模型、单一模态分析及数据多样性不足,导致结果难以推广。为此,本文提出可解释的模态感知混合专家框架(IMA-MoE),整合神经影像、行为、激素与人口统计学等异构数据,在统一预测框架中建模跨模态依赖关系并保留各模态特性。通过将每类测量作为独立标记(token),IMA-MoE实现灵活建模;进一步引入标记重要性机制,量化各变量对预测的贡献。在大规模青少年大脑认知发展(ABCD)数据集上,IMA-MoE在区分BED患者与健康对照方面表现优于基线方法,且揭示性别特异性预测模式——激素指标在女性中贡献更显著。结果表明,可解释的数据驱动多模态建模有助于揭示生物意义明确的BED特征,推动精神疾病精准干预的发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most prevalent eating disorder. However, current diagnostic frameworks remain largely grounded in symptom-based criteria rather than underlying biological mechanisms, thereby limiting early detection and the development of biologically-informed interventions. Emerging studies have begun to investigate the neurobiological signatures of BED, yet their findings are often difficult to generalize due to the reliance on hypothesis-driven parametric models, single-modality analyses, and limited data diversity. Therefore, there is a critical need for advanced data-driven frameworks capable of modeling multimodal data to uncover generalizable and biologically meaningful signatures of BED. In this study, we propose the Interpretable Modality-Aware Mixture-of-Experts (IMA-MoE), a novel architecture designed to integrate heterogeneous neuroimaging, behavioral, hormonal, and demographic measures within a unified predictive framework. By encoding each measure as a distinct token, IMA-MoE enables flexible modeling of cross-modal dependencies while preserving modality-specific characteristics. We further introduce a token-importance mechanism to enhance interpretability by quantifying the contribution of each measure to model predictions. Evaluated on the large-scale Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) dataset, IMA-MoE demonstrates superior performance in differentiating BED from healthy controls compared with baseline methods, while revealing sex-specific predictive patterns, with hormonal measures contributing more prominently to prediction in females. Collectively, these findings highlight the promise of interpretable, data-driven multimodal modeling in advancing biologically-informed characterization of BED and facilitating more precise and personalized interventions in neuropsychiatric disorders.
