Functional neuroimaging can measure the brain?s response to an external stimulus. It is used to perform brain mapping: identifying from these observations the brain regions involved. This problem can be cast into a linear supervised…
We propose a multi-phase approach to explore network structures. In this method, structure analysis is not carried out on the observed network directly. Instead, certain similarity measures of the nodes are derived from the network firstly,…
