• Abstract summary: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been shown to be a powerful tool for generating predictions from biological data. We present a novel approach to representing resting-state fMRI data as a graph containing nodes and edges without omitting any of the voxels. We show that GNNs can successfully predict the disease and sex of a person.

• Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been shown to be a powerful tool for generating predictions from biological data. Their application to neuroimaging data such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans has been limited. However, applying GNNs to fMRI scans may substantially improve predictive accuracy and could be used to inform clinical diagnosis in the future. In this paper, we present a novel approach to representing resting-state fMRI data as a graph containing nodes and edges without omitting any of the voxels and thus reducing information loss. We compare multiple GNN architectures and show that they can successfully predict the disease and sex of a person. We hope to provide a basis for future work to exploit the power of GNNs when applied to brain imaging data.

  Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have gained popularity in healthcare and other domains due to their ability to process multi-modal and multi-relational graphs. We investigate how the flow of embedding information within GNNs affects the prediction of links in Knowledge Graphs (KGs) Our results demonstrate that incorporating domain knowledge into the GNN connectivity leads to better performance than using the same connectivity as the KG or allowing unconstrained embedding propagation.

  Graph convolutional networks (GCN) leverage topology-driven graph convolutional operations to combine information across the graph for inference tasks. We have studied GCNs with covariance matrices as graphs in the form of coVariance neural networks (VNNs) VNNs inherit the scale-free data processing architecture from GCNs and here, we show that VNNs exhibit transferability of performance over datasets whose covariance matrices converge to a limit object.
