Combinatorial Network-Based Manifold Topological Deep Learning for Image Analysis

Combinatorial Network-Based Manifold Topological Deep Learning (CNMTDL) is a new framework that represents medical images as discrete manifolds and decomposes them into three Hodge components. Features from these components are concatenated and fed into a combinatorial complex architecture, enabling higher‑order message passing between 0‑cells and 2‑cells via attention‑based blocks. CNMTDL was evaluated on six 2D and 3D datasets from the MedMNIST v2 benchmark, showing improved performance for medical image analysis.
