[CVPR 2024] Dynamic Graph Representation with Knowledge-aware Attention for Histopathology Whole Slide Image Analysis

1. Introduction

WiKG: Whole Slide Image is a Knowledge Graph

We demonstrate a novel whole slide image (WSI) analysis method based on graph representation called WiKG, which represents a WSI as a knowledge graph, cropped patches as graph nodes, and uses the head-to-tail embedding of patches to generate dynamic graph representations.

2. Reproduce WiKG

This repository is based on the Pytorch version of the WiKG code.

The easy-to-follow model code and train demo code have been released, and the details are as follows:

2.1 Data Structure

The Datasets we used can be downloaded from TCGA. How to crop WSIs into patches can refer to sdpc-for-python. And how to extract the initial features of WSIs can refer to CLAM. Assume that we have divided the dataset into 5 folds and stored them in the following structure:

DATASET/
	├── fold0
    		├── train_data.csv
            ├── val_data.csv
	├── fold1
    		├── train_data.csv
            ├── val_data.csv
	├── fold2
    		├── train_data.csv
            ├── val_data.csv
	├── fold3
    		├── train_data.csv
            ├── val_data.csv
	├── fold4
    		├── train_data.csv
            ├── val_data.csv

Where each .csv file stores the storage path of the initial features of each WSI.

2.2 Train and Test

python train.py 

The above command will train and test WiKG.
