Description

Bojian Hou and co-authors present a 2025 method for sorting Alzheimer's risk in people with mild memory loss. Not everyone with mild cognitive impairment goes on to develop the disease. Finding who will change, and when, could guide drug trials and early care. Older grouping methods sorted patients without using time-to-event data, which wastes key facts.

Their method, called Deep Clustering Survival Machines, groups patients and predicts risk at the same time. It blends two styles of model and fits a survival curve for each group. The team applied it to brain scan data from a large Alzheimer's study network. Because the method can be read and explained, doctors can see why a patient lands in a given risk group.
