Özet

Background: There is a growing need for analyzing medical data such as brain connectomes. However, the unavailability of large-scale training samples increases risks of model over-fitting. Recently, deep learning (DL) architectures quickly gained momentum in synthesizing medical data. However, such frameworks are primarily designed for Euclidean data (e.g., images), overlooking geometric data (e.g., brain connectomes). A few existing geometric DL works that aimed to predict a target brain connectome from a source one primarily focused on domain alignment and were agnostic to preserving the connectome topology.
