A Probabilistic Interpretation of Sampling Theory of Graph Signals
We give a probabilistic interpretation of sampling theory of graph signals.
To do this, we first define a generative model for the data using a pairwise
Gaussian random field (GRF) which depends on the graph. We show that, under
certain conditions, reconstructing a graph signal from a subset of its samples
by least squares is equivalent to performing MAP inference on an approximation
of this GRF which has a low rank covariance matrix. We then show that a
sampling set of given size with the largest associated cut-off frequency, which
is optimal from a sampling theoretic point of view, minimizes the worst case
predictive covariance of the MAP estimate on the GRF. This interpretation also
gives an intuitive explanation for the superior performance of the sampling
theoretic approach to active semi-supervised classification.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, To appear in International Conference on

Random sampling of bandlimited signals on graphs
We study the problem of sampling k-bandlimited signals on graphs. We propose
two sampling strategies that consist in selecting a small subset of nodes at
random. The first strategy is non-adaptive, i.e., independent of the graph
structure, and its performance depends on a parameter called the graph
coherence. On the contrary, the second strategy is adaptive but yields optimal
results. Indeed, no more than O(k log(k)) measurements are sufficient to ensure
an accurate and stable recovery of all k-bandlimited signals. This second
strategy is based on a careful choice of the sampling distribution, which can
be estimated quickly. Then, we propose a computationally efficient decoder to
reconstruct k-bandlimited signals from their samples. We prove that it yields
accurate reconstructions and that it is also stable to noise. Finally, we
conduct several experiments to test these techniques
Structured sampling and fast reconstruction of smooth graph signals
This work concerns sampling of smooth signals on arbitrary graphs. We first
study a structured sampling strategy for such smooth graph signals that
consists of a random selection of few pre-defined groups of nodes. The number
of groups to sample to stably embed the set of -bandlimited signals is
driven by a quantity called the \emph{group} graph cumulative coherence. For
some optimised sampling distributions, we show that sampling
groups is always sufficient to stably embed the set of -bandlimited signals
but that this number can be smaller -- down to -- depending on the
structure of the groups of nodes. Fast methods to approximate these sampling
distributions are detailed. Second, we consider -bandlimited signals that
are nearly piecewise constant over pre-defined groups of nodes. We show that it
is possible to speed up the reconstruction of such signals by reducing
drastically the dimension of the vectors to reconstruct. When combined with the
proposed structured sampling procedure, we prove that the method provides
stable and accurate reconstruction of the original signal. Finally, we present
numerical experiments that illustrate our theoretical results and, as an
example, show how to combine these methods for interactive object segmentation
in an image using superpixels
Adaptive Graph Signal Processing: Algorithms and Optimal Sampling Strategies
The goal of this paper is to propose novel strategies for adaptive learning
of signals defined over graphs, which are observed over a (randomly
time-varying) subset of vertices. We recast two classical adaptive algorithms
in the graph signal processing framework, namely, the least mean squares (LMS)
and the recursive least squares (RLS) adaptive estimation strategies. For both
methods, a detailed mean-square analysis illustrates the effect of random
sampling on the adaptive reconstruction capability and the steady-state
performance. Then, several probabilistic sampling strategies are proposed to
design the sampling probability at each node in the graph, with the aim of
optimizing the tradeoff between steady-state performance, graph sampling rate,
and convergence rate of the adaptive algorithms. Finally, a distributed RLS
strategy is derived and is shown to be convergent to its centralized
counterpart. Numerical simulations carried out over both synthetic and real
data illustrate the good performance of the proposed sampling and
reconstruction strategies for (possibly distributed) adaptive learning of
signals defined over graphs.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, September 201
