• Abstract: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data analysis is pivotal for understanding cellular heterogeneity. However, the high sparsity and complex noise patterns inherent in scRNA-seq data present significant challenges for traditional clustering methods. To address these issues, we propose a deep clustering method, Attention-Enhanced Structural Deep Embedding Graph Clustering (scASDC), which integrates multiple advanced modules to improve clustering accuracy and robustness.Our approach employs a multi-layer graph convolutional network (GCN) to capture high-order structural relationships between cells, termed as the graph autoencoder module. To mitigate the oversmoothing issue in GCNs, we introduce a ZINB-based autoencoder module that extracts content information from the data and learns latent representations of gene expression. These modules are further integrated through an attention fusion mechanism, ensuring effective combination of gene expression and structural information at each layer of the GCN. Additionally, a self-supervised learning module is incorporated to enhance the robustness of the learned embeddings. Extensive experiments demonstrate that scASDC outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, providing a robust and effective solution for single-cell clustering tasks. Our method paves the way for more accurate and meaningful analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing data, contributing to better understanding of cellular heterogeneity and biological processes.
