Spatio-Temporal Graph Hubness Propagation Model for Dynamic Brain Network Classification

Dynamic brain network has the advantage over static brain network in characterizing the variation pattern of functional brain connectivity, and it has attracted increasing attention in brain disease diagnosis. However, most of the existing dynamic brain networks analysis methods rely on extracting features from independent brain networks divided by sliding windows, making them hard to reveal the high-order dynamic evolution laws of functional brain networks. Additionally, they cannot effectively extract the spatio-temporal topology features in dynamic brain networks. In this paper, we propose to use optimal transport (OT) theory to capture the topology evolution of the dynamic brain networks, and develop a multi-channel spatio-temporal graph convolutional network that collaboratively extracts the temporal and spatial features from the evolution networks. Specifically, we first adaptively evaluate the graph hubness of brain regions in the brain network of each time window, which comprehensively models information transmission among multiple brain regions. Second, the hubness propagation information across adjacent time windows is captured by optimal transport, describing high-order topology evolution of dynamic brain networks. Moreover, we develop a spatio-temporal graph convolutional network with attention mechanism to collaboratively extract the intrinsic temporal and spatial topology information from the above networks. Finally, the multi-layer perceptron is adopted for classifying the dynamic brain network. The extensive experiment on the collected epilepsy dataset and the public ADNI dataset show that our proposed method not only outperforms several state-of-the-art methods in brain disease diagnosis, but also reveals the key dynamic alterations of brain connectivities between patients and healthy controls.
