Large-scale collaborative analysis of brain imaging data, in psychiatry and neu-rology, offers a new source of statistical power to discover features that boost ac-curacy in disease classification, differential diagnosis, and outcome prediction. However, due to data privacy regulations or limited accessibility to large datasets across the world, it is challenging to efficiently integrate distributed information. Here we propose a novel classification framework through multi-site weighted LASSO: each site performs an iterative weighted LASSO for feature selection separately. Within each iteration, the classification result and the selected features are collected to update the weighting parameters for each feature. This new weight is used to guide the LASSO process at the next iteration. Only the fea-tures that help to improve the classification accuracy are preserved. In tests on da-ta from five sites (299 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and 258 normal controls), our method boosted classification accuracy for MDD by 4.9% on average. This result shows the potential of the proposed new strategy as an ef-fective and practical collaborative platform for machine learning on large scale distributed imaging and biobank data.

Mental disorders represent critical public health challenges as they are leading contributors to the global burden of disease and intensely influence social and financial welfare of individuals. The present comprehensive review concentrate on the two mental disorders: Major depressive Disorder (MDD) and Bipolar Disorder (BD) with noteworthy publications during the last ten years. There is a big need nowadays for phenotypic characterization of psychiatric disorders with biomarkers. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals could offer a rich signature for MDD and BD and then they could improve understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms underling these mental disorders. In this review, we focus on the literature works adopting neural networks fed by EEG signals. Among those studies using EEG and neural networks, we have discussed a variety of EEG based protocols, biomarkers and public datasets for depression and bipolar disorder detection. We conclude with a discussion and valuable recommendations that will help to improve the reliability of developed models and for more accurate and more deterministic computational intelligence based systems in psychiatry. This review will prove to be a structured and valuable initial point for the researchers working on depression and bipolar disorders recognition by using EEG signals.
Background: The evolution of symptoms over time is at the heart of understanding and treating mental disorders. However, a principled, quantitative framework explaining symptom dynamics remains elusive. Here, we propose a Network Control Theory of Psychopathology allowing us to formally derive a theoretical control energy which we hypothesize quantifies resistance to future symptom improvement in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). We test this hypothesis and investigate the relation to genetic and environmental risk as well as resilience. Methods: We modelled longitudinal symptom-network dynamics derived from N=2,059 Beck Depression Inventory measurements acquired over a median of 134 days in a sample of N=109 patients suffering from MDD. We quantified the theoretical energy required for each patient and time-point to reach a symptom-free state given individual symptom-network topology (E 0 ) and 1) tested if E 0 predicts future symptom improvement and 2) whether this relationship is moderated by Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) of mental disorders, childhood maltreatment experience, and self-reported resilience. Outcomes: We show that E 0 indeed predicts symptom reduction at the next measurement and reveal that this coupling between E 0 and future symptom change increases with higher genetic risk and childhood maltreatment while it decreases with resilience. Interpretation: Our study provides a mechanistic framework capable of predicting future symptom improvement based on individual symptom-network topology and clarifies the role of genetic and environmental risk as well as resilience. Our control-theoretic framework makes testable, quantitative predictions for individual therapeutic response and provides a starting-point for the theory-driven design of personalized interventions.

Background: A therapeutic intervention in psychiatry can be viewed as an attempt to influence the brains large-scale, dynamic network state transitions underlying cognition and behavior. Building on connectome-based graph analysis and control theory, Network Control Theory is emerging as a powerful tool to quantify network controllability - i.e., the influence of one brain region over others regarding dynamic network state transitions. If and how network controllability is related to mental health remains elusive. Methods: From Diffusion Tensor Imaging data, we inferred structural connectivity and inferred calculated network controllability parameters to investigate their association with genetic and familial risk in patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD, n=692) and healthy controls (n=820). Results: First, we establish that controllability measures differ between healthy controls and MDD patients while not varying with current symptom severity or remission status. Second, we show that controllability in MDD patients is associated with polygenic scores for MDD and psychiatric cross-disorder risk. Finally, we provide evidence that controllability varies with familial risk of MDD and bipolar disorder as well as with body mass index. Conclusions: We show that network controllability is related to genetic, individual, and familial risk in MDD patients. We discuss how these insights into individual variation of network controllability may inform mechanistic models of treatment response prediction and personalized intervention-design in mental health.
Reducing the shortage of organ donations to meet the demands of patients on the waiting list has being a major challenge in organ transplantation. Because of the shortage, organ matching decision is the most critical decision to assign the limited viable organs to the most suitable patients. Currently, organ matching decisions were only made by matching scores calculated via scoring models, which are built by the first principles. However, these models may disagree with the actual post-transplantation matching performance (e.g., patients post-transplant quality of life (QoL) or graft failure measurements). In this paper, we formulate the organ matching decision-making as a top-N recommendation problem and propose an Adaptively Weighted Top-N Recommendation (AWTR) method. AWTR improves performance of the current scoring models by using limited actual matching performance in historical data set as well as the collected covariates from organ donors and patients. AWTR sacrifices the overall recommendation accuracy by emphasizing the recommendation and ranking accuracy for top-N matched patients. The proposed method is validated in a simulation study, where KAS [60] is used to simulate the organ-patient recommendation response. The results show that our proposed method outperforms seven state-of-the-art top-N recommendation benchmark methods.
With the popularity of blockchain technology, the financial security issues of blockchain transaction networks have become increasingly serious. Phishing scam detection methods will protect possible victims and build a healthier blockchain ecosystem. Usually, the existing works define phishing scam detection as a node classification task by learning the potential features of users through graph embedding methods such as random walk or graph neural network (GNN). However, these detection methods are suffered from high complexity due to the large scale of the blockchain transaction network, ignoring temporal information of the transaction. Addressing this problem, we defined the transaction pattern graphs for users and transformed the phishing scam detection into a graph classification task. To extract richer information from the input graph, we proposed a multi-channel graph classification model (MCGC) with multiple feature extraction channels for GNN. The transaction pattern graphs and MCGC are more able to detect potential phishing scammers by extracting the transaction pattern features of the target users. Extensive experiments on seven benchmark and Ethereum datasets demonstrate that the proposed MCGC can not only achieve state-of-the-art performance in the graph classification task but also achieve effective phishing scam detection based on the target users transaction pattern graphs.
