The molecular basis of Alzheimer’s Disease has been obscured by heterogeneity and scarcity of brain gene expression data, which limit effectiveness in complex models. Here, the authors introduce a multi-task deep learning framework to learn generalizable and nuanced relationships between gene expression and neuropathology.
