We propose a low-rank transformation-learning framework to robustify subspace clustering. Many high-dimensional data, such as face images and motion sequences, lie in a union of low-dimensional subspaces. The subspace clustering problem has…

The human brain can be conceptualized as a dynamical system. Utilizing resting state fMRI time series imaging, we can study the underlying dynamics at ear-marked Regions of Interest (ROIs) to understand structure or lack thereof. This…

Multiple kernel learning (MKL) aims to find an optimal, consistent kernel function. In the hierarchical multiple kernel clustering (HMKC) algorithm, sample features are extracted layer by layer from a high-dimensional space to maximize the…

Brain networks has attracted the interests of many neuroscientists. From functional MRI (fMRI) data, statistical tools have been developed to recover brain networks. However, the dimensionality of whole-brain fMRI, usually in hundreds of…

Inferring the functional specificity of brain regions from functional Magnetic Resonance Images (fMRI) data is a challenging statistical problem. While the General Linear Model (GLM) remains the standard approach for brain mapping,…

In the study of the brain, there is a hypothesis that sparse coding is realized in information representation of external stimuli, which is experimentally confirmed for visual stimulus recently. However, unlike the specific functional…

In this paper, we develop an approach to modeling high-dimensional networks with a large number of nodes arranged in a hierarchical and modular structure. We propose a novel multi-scale factor analysis (MSFA) model which partitions the…

Contemporary neuroscience has embraced network science to study the complex and self-organized structure of the human brain; one of the main outstanding issues is that of inferring from measure data, chiefly functional Magnetic Resonance…

In recent years, disease mapping studies have become a routine application within geographical epidemiology and are typically analysed within a Bayesian hierarchical model formulation. A variety of model formulations for the latent level…

This paper describes a hierarchical learning strategy for generating sparse representations of multivariate datasets. The hierarchy arises from approximation spaces considered at successively finer scales. A detailed analysis of stability,…

We propose a new framework, called Hierarchical Multi-resolution Mesh Networks (HMMNs), which establishes a set of brain networks at multiple time resolutions of fMRI signal to represent the underlying cognitive process. The suggested…

Analysis of data from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) results in constructing functional brain networks. Principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component analysis (ICA) are widely used to generate functional brain…

This paper proposes a hierarchical Bayesian multitask learning model that is applicable to the general multi-task binary classification learning problem where the model assumes a shared sparsity structure across different tasks. We derive a…

Sparse systems are usually parameterized by a tuning parameter that determines the sparsity of the system. How to choose the right tuning parameter is a fundamental and difficult problem in learning the sparse system. In this paper, by…

The characterisation of the brain as a "connectome", in which the connections are represented by correlational values across timeseries and as summary measures derived from graph theory analyses, has been very popular in the last years.…

Many data-driven approaches exist to extract neural representations of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, but most of them lack a proper probabilistic formulation. We propose a group level scalable probabilistic sparse…

In neuroscience, understanding inter-individual differences has recently emerged as a major challenge, for which functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has proven invaluable. For this, neuroscientists rely on basic methods such as…

It has become increasingly popular to study the brain as a network due to the realization that functionality cannot be explained exclusively by independent activation of specialized regions. Instead, across a large spectrum of behaviors,…

Graphical models have been used extensively for modeling brain connectivity networks. However, unmeasured confounders and correlations among measurements are often overlooked during model fitting, which may lead to spurious scientific…

Multi-site studies are becoming important to increase statistical power, enhance generalizability, and to improve the likelihood of pooling relevant subgroups together activities. Even with harmonized imaging sequences, site-dependent…
