TL;DR
This work introduces GSM-DL, a geometric-stochastic multimodal deep learning framework that unifies EEG, ECG, respiration, SpO2, EMG, and fMRI data to predict SUDEP risk and stroke vulnerability. By embedding signals on Lie-group–invariant Riemannian manifolds, modeling long-memory dynamics with fractional stochastic differential equations, enforcing energy-conserving Hamiltonian neural networks, and incorporating cross-modal attention and diffusion over structural brain graphs, the approach yields interpretable biomarkers tied to manifold geometry, memory, and network diffusion. On the MULTI-CLARID dataset, GSM-DL outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in SUDEP and stroke prediction and provides mechanistic biomarkers such as energy entropy and diffusion centrality for risk stratification. The framework offers a principled, interpretable foundation for early detection and personalized risk assessment in neural-autonomic disorders, with potential for clinical translation pending prospective validation.
Abstract
Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) and acute ischemic stroke are life-threatening conditions involving complex interactions across cortical, brainstem, and autonomic systems. We present a unified geometric-stochastic multimodal deep learning framework that integrates EEG, ECG, respiration, SpO2, EMG, and fMRI signals to model SUDEP and stroke vulnerability. The approach combines Riemannian manifold embeddings, Lie-group invariant feature representations, fractional stochastic dynamics, Hamiltonian energy-flow modeling, and cross-modal attention mechanisms. Stroke propagation is modeled using fractional epidemic diffusion over structural brain graphs. Experiments on the MULTI-CLARID dataset demonstrate improved predictive accuracy and interpretable biomarkers derived from manifold curvature, fractional memory indices, attention entropy, and diffusion centrality. The proposed framework provides a mathematically principled foundation for early detection, risk stratification, and interpretable multimodal modeling in neural-autonomic disorders.
