Topology-Aware Generative Adversarial Network for Joint Prediction of Multiple Brain Graphs from a Single Brain Graph

Several works based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) have been recently proposed to predict a set of medical images from a single modality (e.g, FLAIR MRI from T1 MRI). However, such frameworks are primarily designed to operate on images, limiting their generalizability to non-Euclidean geometric data such as brain graphs. While a growing number of connectomic studies has demonstrated the promise of including brain graphs for diagnosing neurological disorders, no geometric deep learning work was designed for multiple target brain graphs prediction from a source brain graph. Despite the momentum the field of graph generation has gained in the last two years, existing works have two critical drawbacks. First, the bulk of such works aims to learn one model for each target domain to generate from a source domain. Thus, they have a limited scalability in jointly predicting multiple target domains. Second, they merely consider the global topological scale of a graph (i.e., graph connectivity structure) and overlook the local topology at the node scale of a graph (e.g., how central a node is in the graph). To meet these challenges, we introduce MultiGraphGAN architecture, which not only predicts multiple brain graphs from a single brain graph but also preserves the topological structure of each target graph to predict. Its three core contributions lie in: (i) designing a graph adversarial auto-encoder for jointly predicting brain graphs from a single one, (ii) handling the mode collapse problem of GAN by clustering the encoded source graphs and proposing a cluster-specific decoder, (iii) introducing a topological loss to force the reconstruction of topologically sound target brain graphs. Our MultiGraphGAN significantly outperformed its variants thereby showing its great potential in multi-view brain graph generation from a single graph.
