SEGCECO: Subgraph Embedding of Gene expression matrix for prediction of CEll-cell COmmunication
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recent advances in single-cell RNA sequencing technology have eased analyses of signaling networks of cells. Recently, cell-cell interaction has been studied based on various link prediction approaches on graph-structured data. These approaches have assumptions about the likelihood of node interaction, thus showing high performance for only some specific networks. Subgraph-based methods have solved this problem and outperformed other approaches by extracting local subgraphs from a given network. In this work, we present a novel method, called Subgraph Embedding of Gene expression matrix for prediction of CEll-cell COmmunication (SEGCECO), which uses an attributed graph convolutional neural network to predict cell-cell communication from single-cell RNA-seq data. SEGCECO captures the latent and explicit attributes of undirected, attributed graphs constructed from the gene expression profile of individual cells. High-dimensional and sparse single-cell RNA-seq data make converting the data into a graphical format a daunting task. We successfully overcome this limitation by applying SoptSC, a similarity-based optimization method in which the cell-cell communication network is built using a cell-cell similarity matrix which is learned from gene expression data. We performed experiments on six datasets extracted from the human and mouse pancreas tissue. Our comparative analysis shows that SEGCECO outperforms latent feature-based approaches, and the state-of-the-art method for link prediction, WLNM, with 0.99 ROC and 99% prediction accuracy. The datasets can be found at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE84133 and the code is publicly available at Github https://github.com/sheenahora/SEGCECO and Code Ocean https://codeocean.com/capsule/8244724/tree.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
