Multi-View GCN (MVGCN) for Brain Networks

Overview

Multi-View GCN

This repository contains TensorFlow code for implementing Multi-View Graph Convolutional Network for brain networks (DTI data). To do this, we train models using graph convolutional networks (GCNs) in multiple views to learn view-based feature representations. Then, view pooling is conducted for the purpose of multi-view feature fusion. The code is documented and should be easy to modify for your own applications.

Model

The objective function is established for a binary classification problem, which is matching vs. non-matching classes. Brain networks in the same group (Parkinson's Disease or Healthy Control) are labeled as matching pairs while brain networks from different groups are labeled as non-matching pairs. Hence, pairwise training samples are feed into the neural network. The figure depicts the pairwise learning architecture.

Pairwise Learning Architecture

  • The components utilized in the MVGCN are:
    • GCNs: incorporating coordinates of ROI (Region of Interest) with brain networks (DTI) together to learn interpretable representations.
    • View pooling: combining view-based representations of DTI data that are obtained from various tractography algorithms.
    • Pairwise matching: computing similarities by euclidean distance for sample pairs in terms of the pooled features.
    • Softmax: classifying the output of pairwise matching layer into the matching vs. non-matching classes.

This repository contains the slides we presented in AMIA 2018.

Requirements

This package has the following requirements:

Usage

How to Run

To run MVGCN on your data, you need to: change the function of loading data in utils.py; define the names of multiple views in mvgcn.sh; set hyperparameters for MVGCN in mvgcn.sh; run the shell script mvgcn.sh

bash mvgcn.sh

Data Format

The input file "dti.coo.pkl" is the XYZ-coordinate for given samples with the 3d dimension: n_samples x n_nodes x n_XYZ, where n_node equals to the number of ROI in our case. n_XYZ equals to 3 which indicates the X axis, Y axis, and Z axis.

The input file "dti.pair.pkl" stores the index of samples and their corresponding labels by a tuple(pair, label), where pair is a list of pairwise indices. And label is a list of integer values. Here is an example with several sample pairs and labels:

Index 1 Index 2 Label
0 8 1
0 9 1
0 10 1
0 26 0
1 5 0
1 6 0
... ... ...

In detail, we use label 1 to indicate the sample pair belongs to the same class (matching) and label 0 to indicate it belongs to the different classes (non-matching). The index begins from 0.
