Active Semi-Supervised Learning Using Sampling Theory for Graph Signals
We consider the problem of offline, pool-based active semi-supervised
learning on graphs. This problem is important when the labeled data is scarce
and expensive whereas unlabeled data is easily available. The data points are
represented by the vertices of an undirected graph with the similarity between
them captured by the edge weights. Given a target number of nodes to label, the
goal is to choose those nodes that are most informative and then predict the
unknown labels. We propose a novel framework for this problem based on our
recent results on sampling theory for graph signals. A graph signal is a
real-valued function defined on each node of the graph. A notion of frequency
for such signals can be defined using the spectrum of the graph Laplacian
matrix. The sampling theory for graph signals aims to extend the traditional
Nyquist-Shannon sampling theory by allowing us to identify the class of graph
signals that can be reconstructed from their values on a subset of vertices.
This approach allows us to define a criterion for active learning based on
sampling set selection which aims at maximizing the frequency of the signals
that can be reconstructed from their samples on the set. Experiments show the
effectiveness of our method.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, To appear in KDD'1
Observing and tracking bandlimited graph processes from sampled measurements
A critical challenge in graph signal processing is the sampling of bandlimited graph signals; signals that are sparse in a well-defined graph Fourier domain. Current works focused on sampling time-invariant graph signals and ignored their temporal evolution. However, time can bring new insights on sampling since sensor, biological, and financial network signals are correlated in both domains. Hence, in this work, we develop a sampling theory for time varying graph signals, named graph processes, to observe and track a process described by a linear state-space model. We provide a mathematical analysis to highlight the role of the graph, process bandwidth, and sample locations. We also propose sampling strategies that exploit the coupling between the topology and the corresponding process. Numerical experiments corroborate our theory and show the proposed methods trade well the number of samples with accuracy
Sampling and Reconstruction of Sparse Signals on Circulant Graphs - An Introduction to Graph-FRI
With the objective of employing graphs toward a more generalized theory of
signal processing, we present a novel sampling framework for (wavelet-)sparse
signals defined on circulant graphs which extends basic properties of Finite
Rate of Innovation (FRI) theory to the graph domain, and can be applied to
arbitrary graphs via suitable approximation schemes. At its core, the
introduced Graph-FRI-framework states that any K-sparse signal on the vertices
of a circulant graph can be perfectly reconstructed from its
dimensionality-reduced representation in the graph spectral domain, the Graph
Fourier Transform (GFT), of minimum size 2K. By leveraging the recently
developed theory of e-splines and e-spline wavelets on graphs, one can
decompose this graph spectral transformation into the multiresolution low-pass
filtering operation with a graph e-spline filter, and subsequent transformation
to the spectral graph domain; this allows to infer a distinct sampling pattern,
and, ultimately, the structure of an associated coarsened graph, which
preserves essential properties of the original, including circularity and,
where applicable, the graph generating set.Comment: To appear in Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. (2017
