SpaTopic

Topic Inference to Identify Tissue Architecture in Multiplexed Images

v1.3.1 · May 29, 2026 · GPL (>= 3)

Description

A novel spatial topic model to integrate both cell type and spatial information to identify the complex spatial tissue architecture on multiplexed tissue images without human intervention. The Package implements a collapsed Gibbs sampling algorithm for inference. The method is highly scalable to large-scale image datasets without extracting neighborhood information for every single cell. The package supports spatially resolved cell-level data analysis, topic inference, visualization, and downstream biological interpretation of tissue microenvironments.
