Explainable semi-supervised deep learning shows that dementia is associated with small, avocado-shaped clocks with irregularly placed hands.

ABSTRACT: The clock drawing test is a simple and inexpensive method to screen for cognitive frailties, including dementia. In this study, we used the relevance factor variational autoencoder (RF-VAE), a deep generative neural network, to represent digitized clock drawings from multiple institutions using an optimal number of disentangled latent factors. The model identified unique constructional features of clock drawings in a completely unsupervised manner. These factors were examined by domain experts to be novel and not extensively examined in prior research. The features were informative, as they distinguished dementia from non-dementia patients with an area under receiver operating characteristic (AUC) of 0.86 singly, and 0.96 when combined with participants' demographics. The correlation network of the features depicted the "typical dementia clock" as having a small size, a non-circular or "avocado-like" shape, and incorrectly placed hands. In summary, we report a RF-VAE network whose latent space encoded novel constructional features of clocks that classify dementia from non-dementia patients with high performance.

Project description:Deep learning has achieved considerable success in medical image segmentation. However, applying deep learning in clinical environments often involves two problems: (1) scarcity of annotated data as data annotation is time-consuming and (2) varying attributes of different datasets due to domain shift. To address these problems, we propose an improved generative adversarial network (GAN) segmentation model, called U-shaped GAN, for limited-annotated chest radiograph datasets. The semi-supervised learning approach and unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) approach are modeled into a unified framework for effective segmentation. We improve GAN by replacing the traditional discriminator with a U-shaped net, which predicts each pixel a label. The proposed U-shaped net is designed with high resolution radiographs (1,024 × 1,024) for effective segmentation while taking computational burden into account. The pointwise convolution is applied to U-shaped GAN for dimensionality reduction, which decreases the number of feature maps while retaining their salient features. Moreover, we design the U-shaped net with a pretrained ResNet-50 as an encoder to reduce the computational burden of training the encoder from scratch. A semi-supervised learning approach is proposed learning from limited annotated data while exploiting additional unannotated data with a pixel-level loss. U-shaped GAN is extended to UDA by taking the source and target domain data as the annotated data and the unannotated data in the semi-supervised learning approach, respectively. Compared to the previous models dealing with the aforementioned problems separately, U-shaped GAN is compatible with varying data distributions of multiple medical centers, with efficient training and optimizing performance. U-shaped GAN can be generalized to chest radiograph segmentation for clinical deployment. We evaluate U-shaped GAN with two chest radiograph datasets. U-shaped GAN is shown to significantly outperform the state-of-the-art models.
