A 3D Clinical Face Phenotype Space of Genetic Syndromes Using a Triplet-Based Singular Geometric Autoencoder by Soha S. Mahdi, Eduarda Caldeira, Harold Matthews, Michiel Vanneste, Nele Nauwelaers, Meng Yuan, Giorgos Bouritsas, Gareth S. Baynam, Peter Hammond, Richard Spritz, Ophir D. Klein, Michael Bronstein, Benedikt Hallgrimsson, Hilde Peeters, Peter Claes

“…In this paper, a triplet loss-based autoencoder developed by geometric deep learning (GDL) is trained using multi-task learning, which combines supervised and unsupervised learning approaches. Experiments are designed to illustrate the following properties of CFPSs that can aid clinicians in narrowing down their search space: a CFPS can 1) classify syndromes accurately, 2) generalize to novel syndromes, and 3) preserve the relatedness of genetic diseases, meaning that clusters of phenotypically similar disorders reflect functional relationships between genes. …”
