Burst and Memory-aware Transformer: capturing temporal heterogeneity

Burst patterns, characterized by their temporal heterogeneity, have been observed across a wide range of domains, encompassing event sequences from neuronal firing to various facets of human activities. Recent research on predicting event sequences leveraged a Transformer based on the Hawkes process, incorporating a self-attention mechanism to capture long-term temporal dependencies. To effectively handle bursty […]

Atrophy of hippocampal subfields relates to memory decline during the pathological progression of Alzheimer’s disease

BackgroundIt has been well documented that atrophy of hippocampus and hippocampal subfields is closely linked to cognitive decline in normal aging and patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, evidence is still sparce regarding the atrophy of hippocampus and hippocampal subfields in normal aging adults who later developed MCI or AD.ObjectiveTo […]
