Testing Multimodal Integration Hypotheses with Application to Schizophrenia Data
Multimodal data sets are getting more and more common. Integrating these data sets, the information from each modality can be combined to improve performance in classification problems. Fusion/integration of modalities can be done at several levels. The most appropriate fusion level is related to the conditional dependency between modalities.
A varying degree of inter-modality dependency can be present across the modalities. A method for assessing the conditional dependency structure of the modalities and their relationship to intra-modality dependencies in each modality is therefore needed. The aim of the present paper is to propose a method for assessing these inter-modality dependencies.
The approach is based on two permutations of an analyzed data set, each exploring different dependencies between and within modalities. The method was tested on the Kaggle MLSP 2014 Schizophrenia Classification Challenge data set which is composed of features from functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and structural MRI.
The results support the use of a permutation strategy for testing conditional dependencies between modalities in a multimodal classification problem.
