FLIQA-AD: a Fusion Model with Large Language Model for Better Diagnose and MMSE Prediction of Alzheimer’s Disease (2025.naacl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing classification and regression models that only extract finer-grained information from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may not be effective for Alzheimer's disease (AD). |
| Approach: | They propose to use a 3D Adapter in a Vision Transformer to extract the patient's EHR information and questions related to the disease as text prompts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can discriminate and predict the corresponding MMSE score based on the extracted brain structural information and textual content . |
