Modeling Higher-Order Brain Interactions via a Multi-View Information Bottleneck Framework for fMRI-based Psychiatric Diagnosis

- 引入O-信息量化脑区三、四阶交互的协同与冗余特性
- 在4个数据集上超越11种基线方法,最高提升6.2%准确率
- 可解释协同冗余模式,适合脑科学与医学交叉研究者
静息态功能磁共振成像(fMRI)已成为精神疾病诊断的重要工具,但现有方法多依赖于成对脑区连接,忽视了复杂脑动态中的高阶交互(HOIs)。虽然超图方法可通过预定义超边编码高阶交互,但其构建通常依赖启发式相似性度量,且无法明确区分交互是协同主导还是冗余主导。本文提出使用O-信息——一种可符号化的高阶交互信息度量,并将其三阶与四阶形式融入统一的多视图信息瓶颈框架,用于fMRI精神疾病诊断。为实现高效估计,我们开发两种加速策略:高斯解析近似和基于随机矩阵的Rényi熵估计器,相较传统方法计算速度提升30倍以上。所提出的三视图架构系统融合成对、三元及四元脑区交互,全面捕捉脑网络连通性,同时显式惩罚冗余。在四个基准数据集(REST-meta-MDD, ABIDE, UCLA, ADNI)上的实验表明,该方法持续优于11种基线模型,包括先进的图神经网络(GNN)与超图方法。此外,本方法揭示了可解释的区域级协同-冗余模式,这是传统超图方法未明确表达的。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has emerged as a cornerstone for psychiatric diagnosis, yet most approaches rely on pairwise brain cortical or sub-cortical connectivities that overlooks higher-order interactions (HOIs) central to complex brain dynamics. While hypergraph methods encode HOIs through predefined hyperedges, their construction typically relies on heuristic similarity metrics and does not explicitly characterize whether interactions are synergy- or redundancy-dominated. In this paper, we introduce $O$-information, a signed measure that characterizes the informational nature of HOIs, and integrate third- and fourth-order $O$-information into a unified multi-view information bottleneck framework for fMRI-based psychiatric diagnosis. To enable scalable $O$-information estimation, we further develop two independent acceleration strategies: a Gaussian analytical approximation and a randomized matrix-based Rényi entropy estimator, achieving over a 30-fold computational speedup compared with conventional estimators. Our tri-view architecture systematically fuses pairwise, triadic, and tetradic brain interactions, capturing comprehensive brain connectivity while explicitly penalizing redundancy. Extensive evaluation across four benchmark datasets (REST-meta-MDD, ABIDE, UCLA, ADNI) demonstrates consistent improvements, outperforming 11 baseline methods including state-of-the-art graph neural network (GNN) and hypergraph based approaches. Moreover, our method reveals interpretable region-level synergy-redundancy patterns which are not explicitly characterized by conventional hypergraph formulations.
