  1. The table reports the LRAP score derived considering the multilabel neuropathological ground truth (Montine’s criteria) of 9 subjects of our test set and the MUQUBIA classification probabilities. All the 9 subjects had cognitive impairment. 'Intermediate' or 'High' level of ADNC should be considered adequate explanation of AD dementia. 'Limbic', 'Neocortical' or 'Amygdala-predominant' level should be considered adequate explanation of Lewy Body Diseases and this does not preclude contribution of other diseases (e.g.: 'Amygdala-predominant LBD' typically occurs in the context of advanced AD neuropathologic change). Presence of frontotemporal lobar degeneration with tau or other tauopathy and subtypes were labeled as ‘Yes’.
