FRONTIER FTD Research Group

For Dementia Awareness Month, we’ve given the FRONTIER website a fresh new look! It’s now easier to access information and explore the research we’ve built over the years. A big thank you to our participants, without your support, our work would not be possible.

Towards Clinical Diagnoses: Classifying Alzheimer's Disease Using Single fMRI, Small Datasets, and Transfer Learning An outline of our transfer learning pipeline that is initially trained on an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) dataset and then fine-tuned to an Alzheimer's disease (AD) classification task.

A key study from my PhD has just come out!

If you’ve ever asked what happens when a deep neural network is trained on autism data (fMRI) and transfer to an Alzheimer’s disease classification task, this one is for you 🤠

Today I gave an introductory talk on machine learning @ beautiful Bond University ☀️

🎓📑✨ Preprint ( #AIstats ): survival analysis and competing risks with scalable stochastic solvers that recovers well outcome probabilities.

TL;DR: using stochastic optimization, our approach gives survival models both faster and predicting better event probabilities

🚨New paper!🚨 Out now in Lancet Regional Health: WPR, how do we design clinical trials that capture sociocultural and linguistic diversity in dementia and how do we ensure that emerging treatments are accessible to all?

This is our first official post on Bluesky! We are excited to share our research on frontotemporal dementia and related disorders, learn from others, and contribute to the collective quest to #endFTD.

Hi Tara 👋
I’m a dementia research at BMC and would love to be added 😊

Presented my work on predicting dementia severity today @ #ACNS2024
