Title
Manifold Topological Deep Learning for Biomedical Data
Summary
Recently, topological deep learning (TDL), which integrates algebraic topology with deep neural networks, has achieved tremendous success in processing point-cloud data, emerging as a promising paradigm in data science. However, TDL has not been developed for data on differentiable manifolds, including images, due to the challenges posed by differential topology. We address this challenge by introducing manifold topological deep learning (MTDL) for the first time. We already evaluated our MTDL model on 17 2D and 3D datasets of the MedMNIST v2 database. In order to assess the clinical applicability of our model for medical image analysis, I want to apply for some datasets from NLST.
Aims
We aim to evaluate our developed model by testing it on real-world clinical datasets.
