Experiments on the image/sound blind separation and real multi/hyperspectral image also show its superiority in improving the accuracy of ICs and automatically determining the number of ICs. In addition, the results on hyperspectral simulation and real data also demonstrate that MSDP is also capable of dealing with cases, where the number of features is less than the number of ICs.Fusion analysis of disease-related multi-modal data is becoming increasingly important to illuminate the pathogenesis of complex brain diseases. However, owing to the small amount and high dimension of multi-modal data, current machine learning methods do not fully achieve the high veracity and reliability of fusion feature selection. In this paper, we propose a genetic-evolutionary random forest (GERF) algorithm to discover the risk genes and disease-related brain regions of early mild cognitive impairment (EMCI) based on the genetic data and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data. Classical correlation analysis method is used to explore the association between brain regions and genes, and fusion features are constructed. The genetic-evolutionary idea is introduced to enhance the classification performance, and to extract the optimal features effectively. The proposed GERF algorithm is evaluated by the public Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database, and the results show that the algorithm achieves satisfactory classification accuracy in small sample learning. Moreover, we compare the GERF algorithm with other methods to prove its superiority. Furthermore, we propose the overall framework of detecting pathogenic factors, which can be accurately and efficiently applied to the multi-modal data analysis of EMCI and be able to extend to other diseases. This work provides a novel insight for early diagnosi
