A Novel Transfer Learning Model for Predictive Analytics using Incomplete Multimodality Data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Multimodality datasets are becoming increasingly common in various domains to provide complementary information for predictive analytics. In health care, diagnostic imaging of different kinds contains complementary information about an organ of interest, which allows for building a predictive model to accurately detect a certain disease. In manufacturing, multi-sensory datasets contain complementary information about the process and product, allowing for more accurate quality assessment. One significant challenge in fusing multimodality data for predictive analytics is that the multiple modalities are not universally available for all samples due to cost and accessibility constraints. This results in a unique data structure called Incomplete Multimodality Dataset (IMD) for which existing statistical models fall short. We propose a novel Incomplete-Multimodality Transfer Learning (IMTL) model that builds a predictive model for each sub-cohort of samples with the same missing modality pattern, and meanwhile couples the model estimation processes for different sub-cohorts to allow for transfer learning. We develop an Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm to estimate the parameters of IMTL and further extend it to a collaborative learning paradigm that is specifically valuable for patient privacy preservation in health care applications of the IMTL. We prove two advantageous properties of IMTL: the ability for out-of-sample prediction and a theoretical guarantee for a larger Fisher information compared with models without transfer learning. IMTL is applied to diagnosis and prognosis of the Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) at an early stage of the disease called Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) using incomplete multimodality imaging data. IMTL achieves higher accuracy than competing methods without transfer learning.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
