Interpretable Concept-Guided Polynomial Tabular Kolmogorov-Arnold Network for EEG-Based Mild Cognitive Impairment Detection

arXiv:2606.25434v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Early and scalable detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remains an unresolved clinical challenge. Existing EEG-based screening approaches are constrained by handcrafted feature pipelines that discard neurophysiologically meaningful domain structure and deep learning classifiers that sacrifice interpretability for performance. No existing work unifies physiologically organized concept encoders, cross-concept interaction modeling, and nonlinear tabular classification in a sleep EEG-based MCI detection framework. This study proposes Concept-
The proliferation of advanced AI techniques allows for more sophisticated analysis of biomedical data, while increasing interest in AI interpretability addresses a major hurdle for clinical adoption.
Improved early detection of mild cognitive impairment using non-invasive methods like EEG could significantly alter public health strategies and clinical diagnostics for neurodegenerative diseases.
This research introduces a novel, interpretable AI framework that moves beyond traditional handcrafted features and black-box deep learning, potentially making AI-based medical diagnostics more trustworthy and actionable.

More accurate and earlier diagnoses of MCI using EEG data become possible.
The development of personalized interventions for cognitive decline could accelerate due to earlier and more precise identification.
This could lead to a societal shift in how neurodegenerative diseases are managed, moving towards proactive and preventative care enabled by AI diagnostics.
