• Abstract: Graph neural networks (GNNs) are becoming increasingly popular in the medical domain for the tasks of disease classification and outcome prediction. Since patient data is not readily available as a graph, most existing methods either manually define a patient graph, or learn a latent graph based on pairwise similarities between the patients. There are also hypergraph neural network (HGNN)-based methods that were introduced recently to exploit potential higher order associations between the patients by representing them as a hypergraph. In this work, we propose a patient hypergraph network (PHGN), which has been investigated in an inductive learning setup for binary outcome prediction in oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) patients using computed tomography (CT)-based radiomic features for the first time. Additionally, the proposed model was extended to perform time-to-event analyses, and compared with GNN and baseline linear models.

  Graphs are a powerful tool for representing and analyzing unstructured, non-Euclidean data ubiquitous in the healthcare domain. Recent works have shown that considering relationships between input data samples have a positive regularizing effect for the downstream task.

  We propose Heterogeneous Similarity Graph Neural Network (HSGNN) to analyze EHRs with a novel heterogeneous GNN. Our framework consists of two parts: one is a preprocessing method and the other is an end-to-end GNN. The GNN takes all homogeneous graphs as input and fuses all of them into one graph to make a prediction.

  An important challenge in the field of exponential random graphs (ERGs) is the fitting of non-trivial ERGs on large graphs. We propose an approximative framework to such non-trivial ERGs that result in dyadic independence (i.e., edge independent) distributions. Our methods are scalable to sparse graphs consisting of millions of nodes.
