• Abstract: Multispecies spatial data arise in many applications where interactions between different entities are central to system behaviour, including biomedical imaging, geospatial analysis, and species ecology. Despite their importance, relatively few quantitative tools exist to capture such interactions. In this work, we propose magnitude-based features for the analysis of multispecies spatial data. Magnitude is a real-valued invariant of finite metric spaces that can be interpreted as an effective number of points, incorporating both spatial configuration and scale. We develop global and local magnitude feature vectors and demonstrate their utility on synthetic tumour microenvironment data, and in tissue microarray data from human colorectal cancer samples. Locally, the method identifies distinct neighbourhood types and reveals spatial heterogeneity; in the model, this includes radial patterns associated with different qualitative outcomes of the simulations, while in the real-world data it reflects the importance of tertiary lymphoid structure-like interactions between B and T cell populations. Globally, the approach recovers known classifications of long-term simulation outcomes across parameter regimes in synthetic data, and suggests important roles for CD4+ T cells and CD163+ macrophages in distinguishing patients with favourable Crohn's like reactions from unfavourable diffuse immune infiltration. Together, these results suggest that magnitude-based features provide a powerful and flexible tool for the analysis of multispecies spatial data.

  Integration of heterogeneous and high-dimensional multi-omics data is becoming increasingly important in understanding genetic data. One obstacle faced when performing multi-omics data integration is the existence of unpaired multi-omics data due to instrument sensitivity and cost. We propose a deep learning method for multi-omics integration with incomplete data by Cross-omics Linked unified embedding with Contrastive Learning and Self Attention.
