Stacking excessive layers in DNN results in abominably underdetermined system when training samples are limited, which is very common in medical applications. In this regard, we present a framework capable of deriving an efficient high-dimensional space with reasonable increase in model size. This is done by utilizing a transform (i.e., convolution) that leverage scale-space theory with covariance structure. The overall model trains on this transform together with a downstream classifier (i.e., Fully Connected layer) to capture the optimal multi-scale representation of the original data which correspond to task-specific components in a dual space. Experiments on neuroimaging measures from Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) study show that our model performs better and converges faster than conventional models even when the model size is significantly reduced. The trained model is made interpretable using gradient information over the multi-scale transform to delineate personalized AD-specific regions in the brain.
