Learning Combination of Graph Filters for Graph Signal Modeling

International audienceWe study the problem of parametric modeling of network-structured signals with graph filters. To benefit from the properties of several graph shift operators simultaneously, and to enhance interpretability, we investigate combinations of parallel graph filters with different shift operators. Due to their extra degrees of freedom, these models might suffer from over-fitting. We address this problem through a weighted ℓ 2 -norm regularization formulation to perform model selection by encouraging group sparsity. What makes this formulation interesting is that it is actually a smooth convex optimization problem. Experiments on real-world data structured by undirected and directed graphs show the effectiveness of this method

Superpositional Quantum Network Topologies

We introduce superposition-based quantum networks composed of (i) the classical perceptron model of multilayered, feedforward neural networks and (ii) the algebraic model of evolving reticular quantum structures as described in quantum gravity. The main feature of this model is moving from particular neural topologies to a quantum metastructure which embodies many differing topological patterns. Using quantum parallelism, training is possible on superpositions of different network topologies. As a result, not only classical transition functions, but also topology becomes a subject of training. The main feature of our model is that particular neural networks, with different topologies, are quantum states. We consider high-dimensional dissipative quantum structures as candidates for implementation of the model.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX2
