Luca, Giovanni, Can, Isaac, Nathan, Jonas

Minutes:

* [Jonas]
    * Indexing and patching from data loader for images
* [Can] Kinds of modelsL 
    * spatially confined set of neighbors (e.g. neighbors) symVI https://github.com/KlugerLab/SIMVI
    * image + cell – staryfish
    * kneighbor graph loader from pytorch geometric probably fine
    * Batching
        * By cell or subsection
* [Luca]
    * So far working on usability over performance
    * Idea:
        * Try both formating data for most effienct access
        * Compare to a "most effiecient"
* Jonas
    * Working at small-ish chunk sizes

* [Can] Question about what Geome supports
    * Node and graph level modelling

* [Jonas] What about 3d with multiple slices

* Follow up
    * Start a doc to define what we want to build: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FV9v6m0gCF1ECOcUJEB8R3FXHLx3CQnB4BSb0uWlu18/edit
