      ab: This work presents a novel approach to estimate brain functional connectivity networks via generative learning. Due to the complexity and variability of rs-fMRI signal, we consider it as a random variable, and utilize variational autoencoder networks to encode it as a confidence distribution in the latent space rather than as a fixed vector, so as to establish the relationship between them. First, the mean time series of each brain region of interest is mapped into a multivariate Gaussian distribution. The correlation between two brain regions is measured by the Jensen-Shannon divergence that describes the statistical similarity between two probability distributions, and then the adjacency matrix is created to indicate the functional connectivity strength of pairwise brain regions. Meanwhile, our findings show that the adjacency matrices obtained at VAE latent spaces of different dimensionalities have good complementarity for MCI identification in precision and recall, and the classification performance can be further boosted by an efficient cascade of classifiers. This proposal constructs brain functional networks from a statistical modeling standpoint, improving the statistical ability of population data and the generalization ability of observation data variability. We evaluate the proposed framework over the task of identifying subjects with MCI from normal controls, and the experimental results on the public dataset show that our method significantly outperforms both the baseline and current state-of-the-art methods.
