报告内容:
In this talk, I will introduce a global optimization algorithm based on the sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) sampling framework. In this framework, the objective function is normalized to be a probabilistic density function (pdf), based on which a sequence of annealed target pdfs is designed to asymptotically converge on the set of global optimum. A sequential importance sampling procedure is performed to simulate the resulting targets and the maxima of the objective function are assessed from the yielded samples. The disturbing issue lies in the design of the importance sampling (IS) pdf, which crucially influences the IS efficiency. I propose an approach to design the IS pdf by embedding a posterior exploration (PE) procedure into each iteration of the SMC framework. The PE procedure can explore the important regions of the solution space supported by the target pdf. A byproduct of the PE procedure is an adaptive mechanism to design the annealing temperature schedule. I compare the proposed algorithm with related existing methods using a dozen benchmark functions. The result demonstrates the appealing properties of the proposed algorithm.

报告内容:
MGMT promoter methylation and IDH1 mutation in high-grade gliomas (HGG) have proven to be the two important molecular indicators associated with better prognosis. Traditionally, the statuses of MGMT and IDH1 are obtained via surgical biopsy, which has limited their wider clinical implementation. Accurate presurgical prediction of their statuses based on preoperative multimodal neuroimaging is of great clinical value towards better treatment plan. Currently, the available dataset associated with this study has several challenging issues, such as small sample size and complex nonlinear (image) feature-to- (molecular) label relationship. To address these issues, we propose a novel Multi-label Nonlinear Matrix Completion (MNMC) model to jointly predict both MGMT and IDH1 statuses. Specifically, we first employ a nonlinear random Fourier feature mapping to improve the linear separability of the data, and then use transductive multi-task feature selection (performed on the nonlinearly transformed feature space) to refine the imputed soft labels, thus alleviating the overfitting problem caused by small sample size. We further design an optimization algorithm with a guaranteed convergence ability based on a block prox-linear method to solve the proposed MNMC model. Finally, by using a single-center, multimodal brain imaging and molecular pathology dataset of HGG, we derive brain functional and structural connectomics features to jointly predict MGMT and IDH1 statuses. Results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms the previously widely used single- and multi-task machine learning methods. This study also shows the promise of utilizing imaging-derived connectome for HGG prognosis in a non-invasive manner.
