Prediction of Progression to Alzheimer's disease with Deep InfoMax

Arguably, unsupervised learning plays a crucial role in the majority of algorithms for processing brain imaging. A recently introduced unsupervised approach Deep InfoMax (DIM) is a promising tool for exploring brain structure in a flexible non-linear way. In this paper, we investigate the use of variants of DIM in a setting of progression to Alzheimer's disease in comparison with supervised AlexNet and ResNet inspired convolutional neural...
