abstract = {Individualized phenotypic prediction based on structural
MRI is an important goal in neuroscience. Prediction
performance increases with larger samples, but small-scale
datasets with fewer than 200 participants are often
unavoidable. We have previously proposed a "meta-matching"
framework to translate models trained from large datasets to
improve the prediction of new unseen phenotypes in small
collection efforts. Meta-matching exploits correlations
between phenotypes, yielding large improvement over
classical machine learning when applied to prediction models
using resting-state functional connectivity as input
features. Here, we adapt the two best performing
meta-matching variants ("meta-matching finetune" and
"meta-matching stacking") from our previous study to work
with T1-weighted MRI data by changing the base neural
network architecture to a 3D convolution neural network. We
compare the two meta-matching variants with elastic net and
classical transfer learning using the UK Biobank (N =
36,461), Human Connectome Project Young Adults (HCP-YA)
dataset (N = 1,017) and HCP-Aging dataset (N = 656). We find
that meta-matching outperforms elastic net and classical
transfer learning by a large margin, both when translating
models within the same dataset, as well as translating
models across datasets with different MRI scanners,
acquisition protocols and demographics. For example, when
translating a UK Biobank model to 100 HCP-YA participants,
meta-matching finetune yielded a $136\%$ improvement in
variance explained over transfer learning, with an average
absolute gain of $2.6\%$ (minimum = $-0.9\%,$ maximum =
$17.6\%)$ across 35 phenotypes. Overall, our results
highlight the versatility of the meta-matching framework.},
