2.1. Abstract
①Treating each ROI equally will overlook the social relationships between them. Thus, the authors put forward Com-BrainTF model to learn local and global presentations
②They share the parameters between different communities but provide specific token for each community
2.2. Introduction
①ASD patients perform abnormal in default mode network (DMN) and are influenced by the significant change of dorsal attention network (DAN) and DMN
②Com-BrainTF contains a hierarchical transformer to learn community embedding and a local transformer to aggregate the whole information of brain
③Sharing the local transformer parameters can avoid over-parameterization
2.3. Method
2.3.1. Overview
（1）Problem Definition
①They adopt Pearson correlation coefficients methods to obrain functional connectivity matrices
②Then divide 
ROIs to 
communities 
③The learned embedding 
④Next, the following pooling layer and MPLs predict the labels
（2）Overview of our Pipeline
①They provide a local transformer, a global transformer and a pooling layer in their local-global transformer architecture
②The overall framework
2.3.2. Local-global transformer encoder
①With the input FC, the learned node feature matrix 
can be calculated by 
②In transformer encoder module,
where 
,
is the number of heads
（1）Local Transformer
①They apply same local transformer for all the input, but use unique learnable tokens 
:
（2）Global Transformer
①The global operation is:
2.3.3. Graph Readout Layer
①They aggregate node embedding by OCRead.
②The graph level embedding 
is calculated by 
, where 
is a learnable assignment matrix computed by OCRead layer
③Afterwards, flattening and put it in MLP for final prediction
④Loss: CrossEntropy (CE) loss
2.4. Experiments
2.4.1. Datasets and Experimental Settings
（1）ABIDE
（2）Experimental Settings
2.4.2. Quantitative and Qualitative Results
2.4.3. Ablation studies
（1）Input: node features vs. class tokens of local transformers
（2）Output: Cross Entropy loss on the learned node features vs. prompt token
2.5. Conclusion
2.6. Supplementary Materials
2.6.1. Variations on the Number of Prompts
2.6.2. Attention Scores of ASD vs. HC in Comparison between Com-BrainTF (ours) and BNT (baseline)
2.6.3. Decoded Functional Group Differences of ASD vs. HC
