&lt;p>stDyer is an innovative deep learning framework designed for spatial domain clustering in spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) data. The framework integrates:&lt;/p>
&lt;ul>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Gaussian Mixture Variational AutoEncoder (GM-VAE)&lt;/strong> for learning meaningful embeddings&lt;/li>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Graph Attention Networks (GAT)&lt;/strong> for capturing spatial relationships&lt;/li>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Dynamic Graph Construction&lt;/strong> that adaptively links spatial units based on Gaussian Mixture assignments&lt;/li>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Mini-batch Strategy&lt;/strong> and &lt;strong>Multi-GPU Support&lt;/strong> for handling large-scale datasets&lt;/li>
&lt;/ul>
