Addiction to drugs between young people is one of the most severe problems in the real world, and it imposes a huge financial and emotional burden on their families and societies. Therefore, predicting potential inclination to drugs at earlier ages can prevent lots of detriments. In this paper, we propose a new semi-supervised deep ordinal regression model to predict the possible propensity of adolescents to marijuana using the diffusion MRI-derived mean diffusivity (MD) from 148 Regions of Interest (ROIs). The traditional deep ordinal regression models cannot be directly applied to our biomedical problem which only has a small number of labeled data, not enough to train the deep learning models. Thus, we design a semi-supervised learning mechanism for deep ordinal regression, such that both labeled and unlabeled data can be used to enhance the model training. In our experiments, we use the ABCD dataset, which contains MRI images of the adolescents under study and their answers in the Likert scale to a questionnaire containing questions about Marijuana. Experimental results on the ABCD dataset validate the superior performance of our new method. Our study provides an inexpensive way to predict the drug tendency using brain MRI data.
