Multi-Modal Graph Neural Network with Transformer-Guided Adaptive Diffusion for Preclinical Alzheimer Classification

arXiv:2606.03322v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The graphical representation of the brain offers critical insights into diagnosing and prognosing neurodegenerative disease via relationships between regions of interest (ROIs). Despite recent emergence of various Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to effectively capture the relational information, there remain inherent limitations in interpreting the brain networks. Specifically, convolutional approaches ineffectively aggregate information from distant neighborhoods, while attention-based methods exhibit deficiencies in capturing node-centric informat
Advances in AI, particularly GNNs and transformers, are converging with increased availability of brain imaging data, enabling more sophisticated analysis for neurological disorders.
Early and accurate classification of preclinical Alzheimer's could revolutionize treatment strategies, research funding, and patient outcomes for a major neurodegenerative disease.
The potential for AI-driven neurological diagnostics could significantly improve early intervention capabilities and refine our understanding of disease progression.
