Learning parametric dictionaries for graph signals
In sparse signal representation, the choice of a dictionary often involves a
tradeoff between two desirable properties -- the ability to adapt to specific
signal data and a fast implementation of the dictionary. To sparsely represent
signals residing on weighted graphs, an additional design challenge is to
incorporate the intrinsic geometric structure of the irregular data domain into
the atoms of the dictionary. In this work, we propose a parametric dictionary
learning algorithm to design data-adapted, structured dictionaries that
sparsely represent graph signals. In particular, we model graph signals as
combinations of overlapping local patterns. We impose the constraint that each
dictionary is a concatenation of subdictionaries, with each subdictionary being
a polynomial of the graph Laplacian matrix, representing a single pattern
translated to different areas of the graph. The learning algorithm adapts the
patterns to a training set of graph signals. Experimental results on both
synthetic and real datasets demonstrate that the dictionaries learned by the
proposed algorithm are competitive with and often better than unstructured
dictionaries learned by state-of-the-art numerical learning algorithms in terms
of sparse approximation of graph signals. In contrast to the unstructured
dictionaries, however, the dictionaries learned by the proposed algorithm
feature localized atoms and can be implemented in a computationally efficient
manner in signal processing tasks such as compression, denoising, and
classification
Graph Spectral Image Processing
Recent advent of graph signal processing (GSP) has spurred intensive studies
of signals that live naturally on irregular data kernels described by graphs
(e.g., social networks, wireless sensor networks). Though a digital image
contains pixels that reside on a regularly sampled 2D grid, if one can design
an appropriate underlying graph connecting pixels with weights that reflect the
image structure, then one can interpret the image (or image patch) as a signal
on a graph, and apply GSP tools for processing and analysis of the signal in
graph spectral domain. In this article, we overview recent graph spectral
techniques in GSP specifically for image / video processing. The topics covered
include image compression, image restoration, image filtering and image
segmentation
Orthogonally spherical objects and spherical fibrations
We introduce a relative version of the spherical objects of Seidel and
Thomas. Define an object E in the derived category D(Z x X) to be spherical
over Z if the corresponding functor from D(Z) to D(X) gives rise to
autoequivalences of D(Z) and D(X) in a certain natural way. Most known examples
come from subschemes of X fibred over Z. This categorifies to the notion of an
object of D(Z x X) orthogonal over Z. We prove that such an object is spherical
over Z if and only if it has certain cohomological properties similar to those
in the original definition of a spherical object. We then interpret this
geometrically in the case when our objects are actual flat fibrations in X over
Z.Comment: 29 pages; v2: A missing assumption reinstated in Prop. 3.7, some

Geometric deep learning
The goal of these course notes is to describe the main mathematical ideas behind geometric deep learning and to provide implementation details for several applications in shape analysis and synthesis, computer vision and computer graphics. The text in the course materials is primarily based on previously published work. With these notes we gather and provide a clear picture of the key concepts and techniques that fall under the umbrella of geometric deep learning, and illustrate the applications they enable. We also aim to provide practical implementation details for the methods presented in these works, as well as suggest further readings and extensions of these ideas
