| Proposed Analysis: | We proposed a task-driven hierarchical attention network (THAN) taking advantage of the merits of patch-based and attention-based convolutional neural networks for MCI and AD diagnosis. THAN consists of an information sub-network and a hierarchical attention sub-network. In the information sub-network, an information map extractor, a patch-assistant module, and a mutual-boosting loss function are designed to generate a task-driven information map, which automatically highlights disease-related regions and their importance for final classification. In the hierarchical attention sub-network, a visual attention module and a semantic attention module are devised based on the information map to extract discriminative features for disease diagnosis. |
