Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of interdisciplinary technology of artificial intelligence and medical health, and relates to a hierarchical functional alignment hypergraph learning method and system for auxiliary diagnosis of brain diseases. Specifically, it relates to a hierarchical functional alignment hypergraph learning method and system for auxiliary diagnosis of brain diseases based on graph neural networks (GNN) and hypergraph learning of electroencephalogram (EEG) or functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) signals. Background Technology

[0002] Brain diseases, including mental disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, have become a major public health challenge worldwide, urgently requiring effective auxiliary diagnostic solutions. Modern neuroscience research regards these diseases as abnormal disorders of brain network function. Therefore, constructing brain functional networks and performing intelligent analysis using multi-channel neurophysiological signals such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has become an important means of assisting medical diagnosis ([Reference 1]).

[0003] Graph neural networks (GNNs) have shown great potential in the field of brain network modeling due to their ability to capture complex dependencies and non-Euclidean structure data. Existing brain map learning methods typically treat brain elements such as sensor channels as graph nodes and learn pathological features by aggregating neighborhood information ([Reference 2][Reference 3]).

[0004] However, GNNs have the following problems when learning from brain networks: 1. Insufficient Capture of Higher-Order Interaction Knowledge: Neural changes caused by brain diseases exhibit significant heterogeneity across different anatomical levels. Existing methods often model only at a single level or employ simple multi-level feature stacking. This coarse learning approach fails to effectively capture the higher-order interaction knowledge specific to particular anatomical levels, resulting in inaccurate modeling of pathological features and difficulty in addressing complex brain functional changes.

[0005] 2. Cross-level functional role conflict: In neurophysiology, the same brain element often plays different functional roles under different observation perspectives and anatomical levels. Existing models, when learning in multi-level parallel processing, typically ignore this hierarchical heterogeneity of functional roles. Due to the lack of alignment mechanisms, the feature representations of the same brain element at different levels may exhibit knowledge conflicts, severely impairing the cross-level generalization ability of graph neural networks and limiting diagnostic accuracy.

[0006] Therefore, how to construct a graph learning architecture that can collaboratively capture multi-level high-order interactive knowledge and effectively align the functional roles of brain elements at different levels to improve the accuracy and reliability of brain disease diagnosis is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the field of brain network intelligent assisted diagnosis.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include: (1) This invention reveals and solves for the first time the challenge of heterogeneity in high-order interaction levels among different anatomical levels of pathological changes in brain diseases. By designing a hierarchical high-order knowledge capture mechanism, a unified source of functional connectivity is mapped into three structures: channel-level pairwise graphs, channel-level hypergraphs, and brain region-level hypergraphs. This design enables the model to collaboratively and precisely learn multi-level pairwise interactions and high-order interaction features, overcoming the shortcomings of previous methods that folded multi-level information into a single view or modeled too coarsely, and greatly enhancing the ability to capture hierarchical specific interaction patterns.

[0020] (2) This invention creatively proposes a hierarchical functional role alignment mechanism to address the hierarchical heterogeneity of functional roles exhibited by the same brain element in interactions at different levels. Instead of directly and crudely aligning node embedding features, this method accurately assesses the connectivity functional role of nodes by combining the signal diffusion sensitivity obtained from fractional-order Laplace operations with the Forman-Ricci curvature reflecting geometric properties. Furthermore, the alignment mechanism forcibly reduces differences in role interpretation between levels, alleviating knowledge conflicts and endowing the network with strong cross-level generalization consistency.

Experiments based on multiple real electroencephalogram (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) datasets show that the present invention is significantly more accurate than existing graph- and hypergraph-based baseline methods when handling brain disease auxiliary diagnosis tasks, and has significant application potential and practical value for medical auxiliary diagnosis.

Furthermore, addressing the impact of functional role heterogeneity of the same brain element at different observation levels, hierarchical functional role alignment is used, combining signal variability and structural features to evaluate functional roles at specific levels. The functional roles of brain elements are aligned across multiple anatomical levels, resolving knowledge conflicts caused by inconsistent functional roles, thereby improving the cross-level generalization ability of the graph neural network model and achieving more accurate diagnosis.

[0026] In one implementation, a hierarchical high-order knowledge capture mechanism is employed to jointly construct pairwise graph and hypergraph relationships at multiple anatomical levels, enabling the graph neural network model to collaboratively learn and effectively capture high-order interaction knowledge at specific levels; the specific implementation includes the following sub-steps: Step A1: Signal preprocessing and phase-based connectivity matrix construction Consider treating the multichannel neurophysiological recordings from an experiment as a matrix. ,in It is the number of time samples.

[0029] This generates a hyperedge set. And obtain the normalized channel-level hypergraph propagation operator. .

[0030] (3) Brain region-level hypermap: Forces cohesion within regions by creating a hyperedge for each region. By calculating the average PLV of all channel pairs across regions, channel-level PLV is elevated to region-level similarity. Identify each region based on region-level similarity. The most similar neighborhoods are used to construct pairs of cross-regional superedges. Finally, a normalized brain region-level hypergraph propagation operator is obtained. .in, Indicates a specific brain region All internal channels are combined; The above view The corresponding normalized propagation operator formula is uniformly expressed as: ; in and These are the node degree and hyperedge degree matrices, respectively.

[0032] In one implementation, the hierarchical functional role alignment module assesses functional roles at specific levels by combining signal variability and structural features, and aligns the functional roles of brain elements across multiple anatomical levels; specifically, this includes the following sub-steps: Step B1: Calculate the graph / hypergraph Laplacian matrix for each level view and construct a fractional Laplacian operator to emphasize long-range dependencies; For each view Calculate the Laplacian matrix of the symmetric normalized hypergraph. A fractional-order Laplace matrix is ​​constructed by performing a full-spectrum decomposition on the Laplace matrix. This emphasizes long-range dependence.

[0033] Step B2: Combine the learned node representations to calculate the Fisher-inspired diffusion sensitivity score, which reflects the degree of energy variation of node features under fractional-order diffusion. For each node Calculate the diffusion sensitivity score based on Fisher's inspiration: ; This score measures the energy of a node representation under fractional-order diffusion, reflecting the degree of change in node features relative to nonlocal structure operators.

[0034] Step B3: Combining discrete geometry knowledge, use Forman-Ricci curvature quantification to determine the dispersion and concentration characteristics of the local composite structure of the neighborhood of nodes in each view; Incorporating Forman-Ricci curvature into a discrete geometric perspective. Computing node-hyperedge curvature. And calculate the average curvature scalar of the incident hyperedge at that node. ;in, Indicates in view In and nodes The set of associated hyperedges; Step B4: Combine diffusion sensitivity with geometric curvature Forman-Ricci curvature to calculate the role index of each node, characterizing the functional role of the node in a specific view; Define nodes by combining sensitivity and geometric properties. In view Functional Role Index: ; in This is the curvature scaling factor; This index characterizes the functional role of a node in the view by modulating Fisher diffusion sensitivity through curvature-based exponential decay.

[0035] Step B5: Achieve consistent alignment across levels by calculating the absolute difference in node role indices between view pairs to minimize functional role differences between levels.

[0036] Cross-hierarchical functional role alignment: To align roles across views, pairwise difference loss is calculated: ; in A collection of all distinct view index pairs. Indicates in view In and nodes The set of associated hyperedges. The overall training objective combines classification loss and alignment loss: ,in To balance the hyperparameters.

[0037] To verify the effectiveness of this invention, this embodiment evaluated four brain time-series datasets under a binary classification experimental setup, including three publicly available electroencephalogram (EEG) datasets: ADFTD, APAVA, and TDBrain, and a proprietary functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) dataset, M-fNIRS. These datasets differ in imaging modalities, number of channels, and number of subjects, providing a comprehensive testing platform for evaluating the effectiveness of the method across different brain signal features. Regarding evaluation metrics, this experiment employed two threshold-free metrics: Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUROC) and Area Under the Precision-Recall (AUPRC). This experiment compared the method of this invention with traditional machine learning methods KNN and Random Forest, as well as state-of-the-art baseline methods for brain time-series signal learning and brain mapping, including: GroupINN, IGS, EvoBrain, Medformer, DMSGL, FSTA-EC, TarDiff, LaBraM, and EEGPT.

The experimental results are shown in Table 1, indicating that the method of this invention outperforms all other state-of-the-art baseline methods in terms of AUROC and AUPRC metrics in the vast majority of experimental settings.

[0040] This invention innovates primarily in two aspects: Addressing the diagnostic challenges posed by the heterogeneity of hierarchical anatomical structures, it achieves system synergistic optimization by integrating a hierarchical high-order knowledge capture mechanism with a functional role alignment module. First, by jointly constructing channel-level paired graphs, channel-level hypergraphs, and brain region-level hypergraphs, this invention can synergistically capture multi-granularity high-order interaction features at different anatomical levels, overcoming the limitation of a single view being insufficient for modeling complex brain network changes. Secondly, by utilizing fractional-order diffusion sensitivity and discrete geometric curvature features to quantify the functional roles of nodes at each level and implementing cross-level alignment, it effectively alleviates knowledge conflicts caused by inconsistent functional roles of the same brain element at different observation levels. These two mechanisms complement each other; the former extracts diverse structural patterns, while the latter ensures consistency and generalization performance across multiple views, jointly significantly improving the model's accuracy in modeling and diagnosing complex pathological features of brain diseases.
