The invention relates to an
autism classification method based on a multi-scale residual image neural network, and aims to cope with the challenge of crowd
autism classification in multi-
modal medical data. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, providing a new function connection feature construction method, extracting second-order function connection features by using tangent Pearson embedding to capture a high-order interaction relationship between brain intervals, and then adopting a maximum independent domain to adaptively minimize statistical dependence between the features and acquisition sites, and combining F-
score to screen the features with the most discriminative ability, so as to obtain the feature with the most discriminative ability. And redundancy is effectively removed. Secondly, a multi-
modal edge weight calculation method fusing imaging information and non-imaging information is provided, so that
noise interference is effectively suppressed while a key
discriminant relation is reserved. And finally, expanding a node
receptive field layer by layer by stacking multiple
layers of Chebyshev convolutions with residual errors on the subject graph so as to capture multi-level relation characteristics, and performing weighted modeling and adaptive fusion on
convolution output of each layer by using a multi-head self-attention mechanism, so that effective integration of multi-scale information is realized, and accurate classification of
autism is realized. The method has excellent performance in the aspect of autism classification, and an innovative, feasible and
effective solution is provided for solving the autism classification task in the multi-
modal medical data.
