• Abstract: Although great advances in the analysis of neuroimaging data have been made, a major challenge is a lack of training data. This is less problematic in tasks such as diagnosis, where much data exists, but particularly prevalent in harder problems such as predicting treatment responses (prognosis), where data is focused and hence limited. Here, we address the learning from small data problems for medical imaging using graph neural networks. This is particularly challenging as the information about the patients is themselves graphs (regions of interest connectivity graphs). We show how a spectral representation of the connectivity data allows for efficient propagation that can yield approximately 12\% improvement over traditional deep learning methods using the exact same data. We show that our method's superior performance is due to a data smoothing result that can be measured by closing the number of triangle inequalities and thereby satisfying transitivity.

  The emergence of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) in graph data analysis has raised critical concerns about data misuse during model training. Existing methodologies address either data misuse detection or mitigation, and are primarily designed for local GNN models. This paper introduces a pioneering approach called GraphGuard, to tackle these challenges.

  Deep learning for medical imaging is limited due to the requirement for large amounts of training data. We employ the Image Foresting Transform to optimally segment images into superpixels. These superpixels are subsequently transformed into graph-structured data, enabling the proficient extraction of features and modeling of relationships.

  Differentially private descent is the de facto standard for training neural networks without leaking sensitive information about the training data. In practice, this limits privacy-preserving deep learning on graphs to very shallow graph neural networks. We propose to solve this issue by training graph neural networks on disjoint subgraphs of a given training graph.

  It is necessary to consider the behavior of the signals in each sensor separately, to take into account their correlation and hidden relationships with each other. The graph nodes can be represented as data from the different sensors, and the edges can display the influence of these data on each other. It was proposed to construct a graph during the training of graph neural network. This allows to train models on data where the dependencies between the sensors are not known in advance.

• Distributionally Robust Semi-Supervised Learning Over Graphs [68.29280230284712]
  Semi-supervised learning (SSL) over graph-structured data emerges in many network science applications. To efficiently manage learning over graphs, variants of graph neural networks (GNNs) have been developed recently. Despite their success in practice, most of existing methods are unable to handle graphs with uncertain nodal attributes. Challenges also arise due to distributional uncertainties associated with data acquired by noisy measurements. A distributionally robust learning framework is developed, where the objective is to train models that exhibit quantifiable robustness against perturbations.
