Many existing studies on complex brain disorders, such as Alzheimer’s Disease, usually employed regression analysis to associate the neuroimaging measures to cognitive status. However, whether these measures in multiple modalities have the predictive power to infer the trajectory of cognitive performance over time still remain under-explored. In this paper, we propose a high-order multi-modal multi-mask feature learning model to uncover temporal relationship between the longitudinal neuroimaging measures and progressive cognitive output scores. The regularizations through sparsity-induced norms implemented in the proposed learning model enable the selection of only a small number of imaging features over time and capture modality structures for multi-modal imaging markers. The promising experimental results in extensive empirical studies performed on the ADNI cohort have validated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
