The base regression neural network is depicted in the center which describes the parameters of the fullyconnected dense layers with respective activation functions. The plot at left: Depicts three inputs where the center input
comes from corresponding DW-MRI with histology. The other two are pairwise inputs from corresponding voxels of
scanner 1.5T and 3T. The plot at right: Depicts the loss function which uses the hypothesis that the outcome/prediction
should be same irrespective of the scanner gradient strength.

The framework of DLSTM (three “steps” in the example). x_t is the input data at time point t, and d_t is the time distance from the time point t to the latest time point. “F” represents the learnable DLSTM component (convolutional version in this paper). H_t and C_t are the hidden state and cell state, respectively. The input data, x_t, could be 1D, 2D, or 3D.
