Idea
A spatiotemporal graph neural process platform for accurate cardiac motion modeling, reconstruction, and disease classification from sparse data.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces a unified model integrating neural ODEs, graph neural networks, and neural processes to capture uncertainty, temporal continuity, and anatomical structure in cardiac motion. It uniquely models dynamic systems as spatiotemporal multiplex graphs and infers latent trajectories from sparse observations, enabling both interpolation and extrapolation. This approach advances beyond prior work by combining probabilistic modeling with graph-based spatiotemporal dynamics for improved reconstruction and classification.

Research Paper Overview
Spatiotemporal graph neural process for reconstruction, extrapolation, and classification of cardiac trajectories
Summary
This paper presents a probabilistic framework combining neural ordinary differential equations, graph neural networks, and neural processes to model structured spatiotemporal dynamics from sparse observations, focusing on cardiac motion. It represents dynamic systems as spatiotemporal multiplex graphs and models latent trajectories with a GNN-parameterized vector field. The model infers distributions over latent states and control variables from sparse node and edge observations, enabling interpolation and extrapolation of trajectories. Validated on synthetic dynamical systems and real cardiac imaging datasets, it achieves accurate reconstruction, future cardiac cycle extrapolation, and state-of-the-art disease classification performance.
