Implementation of the connectome embedding workflow.

cepy

Implementation of the connectome embedding (CE) framework.

Embedding of brain graph or connectome embedding (CE) involves finding a compact vectorized representation of nodes that captures their higher-order topological attributes. CE are obtained using the node2vec algorithm fitted on random walk on a brain graph. The current framework includes a novel approach to align separately learned embeddings to the same latent space.

Installation

pip install cepy

Usage

import cepy as ce
import numpy as np

# Load an adjacency matrix (structural connectivity matrix)
sc_group = ce.get_example('sc_group_matrix')

# Initiate and fit the connectome embedding model
ce_group = ce.CE(permutations = 1, seed=1)  
ce_group.fit(sc_group)

# Extract the cosine similarity matrix among all pairwise nodes
cosine_sim = ce_group.similarity()

# Save and load the model
ce_group.save_model('group_ce.pkl') 
ce_loaded = ce.load_model('group_ce.pkl') # load it

# Load two existing CE models  
ce_subject1 = ce.get_example('ce_subject1')
ce_subject2 = ce.get_example('ce_subject2')

# Align the two to the space of the [ce_group]:
ce_subject1_aligned = ce.align(ce_group, ce_subject1)
ce_subject2_aligned = ce.align(ce_group, ce_subject2)

# Extract the node vectorized representations (normalized) for subsequent use - prediction, for example 
w_sbject1 = ce_subject1_aligned.weights.get_w_mean(norm = True)
w_sbject2 = ce_subject2_aligned.weights.get_w_mean(norm = True)

A set of example interactive Jupyter notebooks are also available here.
