BrainNPT: Pre-training of Transformer networks for brain network classification
CoRR(2023)
摘要
Deep learning methods have advanced quickly in brain imaging analysis over the past few years, but they are usually restricted by the limited labeled data. Pre-trained model on unlabeled data has presented promising improvement in feature learning in many domains, including natural language processing and computer vision. However, this technique is under-explored in brain network analysis. In this paper, we focused on pre-training methods with Transformer networks to leverage existing unlabeled data for brain functional network classification. First, we proposed a Transformer-based neural network, named as BrainNPT, for brain functional network classification. The proposed method leveraged token as a classification embedding vector for the Transformer model to effectively capture the representation of brain network. Second, We proposed a pre-training architecture with two pre-training strategies for BrainNPT model to leverage unlabeled brain network data to learn the structure information of brain networks. The results of classification experiments demonstrated the BrainNPT model without pre-training achieved the best performance with the state-of-the-art models, and the BrainNPT model with pre-training strongly outperformed the state-of-the-art models. The pre-training BrainNPT model improved 8.75% of accuracy compared with the model without pre-training. We further compared the pre-training strategies, analyzed the influence of the parameters of the model, and interpreted the fine-tuned model.
