Abstract
Conventional clustering techniques for neuroimaging applications usually focus on capturing differences between given subjects, while neglecting arising differences between features and the potential bias caused by degraded data quality. In practice, collected neuroimaging data are often inevitably contaminated by noise, which may lead to errors in clustering and clinical interpretation. Additionally, most methods ignore the importance of feature grouping towards optimal clustering. In this paper, we exploit the underlying heterogeneous clusters of features to serve as weak supervision for improved clustering of subjects, which is achieved by simultaneously clustering subjects and features via nonnegative matrix tri-factorization. In order to suppress noise, we further introduce adaptive regularization based on coefficient distribution modeling. Particularly, unlike conventional sparsity regularization techniques that assume zero mean of the coefficients, we form the distributions using the data of interest so that they could better fit the non-negative coefficients. In this manner, the proposed approach is expected to be more effective and robust against noise. We compared the proposed method with standard techniques and recently published methods demonstrating superior clustering performance on synthetic data with known ground truth labels. Furthermore, when applying our proposed technique to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from a cohort of patients with Parkinson's disease, we identified two stable and highly reproducible patient clusters characterized by frontal and posterior cortical/medial temporal atrophy patterns, respectively, which also showed corresponding differences in cognitive characteristics.

Abstract
Accurate measurement of brain structures is essential for the evaluation of neonatal brain growth and development. The conventional methods use manual segmentation to measure brain tissues, which is very time-consuming and inefficient. Recent deep learning achieves excellent performance in computer vision, but it is still unsatisfactory for segmenting magnetic resonance images of neonatal brains because they are immature with unique attributes. In this paper, we propose a novel attention-modulated multi-branch convolutional neural network for neonatal brain tissue segmentation. The proposed network is built on the encoder-decoder framework by introducing both multi-scale convolutions in the encoding path and multi-branch attention modules in the decoding path. Multi-scale convolutions with different kernels are used to extract rich semantic features across large receptive fields in the encoding path. Multi-branch attention modules are used to capture abundant contextual information in the decoding path for segmenting brain tissues by fusing both local features and their corresponding global dependencies. Spatial attention connections between the encoding and decoding paths are designed to increase feature propagation for both avoiding information loss during downsampling and accelerating model training convergence. The proposed network was implemented in comparison with baseline methods on three neonatal brain datasets. Our network achieves the average Dice similarity coefficients/the average Hausdorff distances of 0.9116/8.1289, 0.9367/9.8212 and 0.8931/8.1612 on the customized dCBP2021 dataset, 0.8786/11.7863, 0.8965/13.4296 and 0.8539/10.462 on the public NBAtlas dataset, as well as 0.9253/7.7968, 0.9448/9.5472 and 0.9132/7.5877 on the public dHCP2017 dataset in partitioning the brain into gray matter, white matter and cerebrospinal fluid, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves competitive state-of-the-art performance in neonatal brain tissue segmentation. The code and pre-trained models are available at https://github.com/zhangyongqin/AMCNN.

Abstract
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique in analytical chemistry. Typically, spatially distributed spectra of the substance of interest are conducted simultaneously using FTIR spectrometers equipped with array detectors. Scanning-based methods such as near-field FTIR spectroscopy, on the other hand, are a promising alternative providing higher spatial resolution. However, serial recording severely limits their application due to the long acquisition times involved and the resulting stability issues. We demonstrate that it is possible to significantly reduce the measurement time of scanning methods by applying the mathematical technique of low-rank matrix reconstruction. Data from a previous pilot study of Leishmania strains are analyzed by randomly selecting 5% of the interferometer samples. The results obtained for bioanalytical fingerprinting using the proposed approach are shown to be essentially the same as those obtained from the full set of data. This finding can significantly foster the practical applicability of high-resolution serial scanning techniques in analytical chemistry and is also expected to improve other applications of FTIR spectroscopy and spectromicroscopy.
