Sampling of graph signals via randomized local aggregations
Sampling of signals defined over the nodes of a graph is one of the crucial
problems in graph signal processing. While in classical signal processing
sampling is a well defined operation, when we consider a graph signal many new
challenges arise and defining an efficient sampling strategy is not
straightforward. Recently, several works have addressed this problem. The most
common techniques select a subset of nodes to reconstruct the entire signal.
However, such methods often require the knowledge of the signal support and the
computation of the sparsity basis before sampling. Instead, in this paper we
propose a new approach to this issue. We introduce a novel technique that
combines localized sampling with compressed sensing. We first choose a subset
of nodes and then, for each node of the subset, we compute random linear
combinations of signal coefficients localized at the node itself and its
neighborhood. The proposed method provides theoretical guarantees in terms of
reconstruction and stability to noise for any graph and any orthonormal basis,
even when the support is not known.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks,

Kernel-based Inference of Functions over Graphs
The study of networks has witnessed an explosive growth over the past decades
with several ground-breaking methods introduced. A particularly interesting --
and prevalent in several fields of study -- problem is that of inferring a
function defined over the nodes of a network. This work presents a versatile
kernel-based framework for tackling this inference problem that naturally
subsumes and generalizes the reconstruction approaches put forth recently by
the signal processing on graphs community. Both the static and the dynamic
settings are considered along with effective modeling approaches for addressing
real-world problems. The herein analytical discussion is complemented by a set
of numerical examples, which showcase the effectiveness of the presented
techniques, as well as their merits related to state-of-the-art methods.Comment: To be published as a chapter in `Adaptive Learning Methods for

Geometry-Aware Neighborhood Search for Learning Local Models for Image Reconstruction
Local learning of sparse image models has proven to be very effective to
solve inverse problems in many computer vision applications. To learn such
models, the data samples are often clustered using the K-means algorithm with
the Euclidean distance as a dissimilarity metric. However, the Euclidean
distance may not always be a good dissimilarity measure for comparing data
samples lying on a manifold. In this paper, we propose two algorithms for
determining a local subset of training samples from which a good local model
can be computed for reconstructing a given input test sample, where we take
into account the underlying geometry of the data. The first algorithm, called
Adaptive Geometry-driven Nearest Neighbor search (AGNN), is an adaptive scheme
which can be seen as an out-of-sample extension of the replicator graph
clustering method for local model learning. The second method, called
Geometry-driven Overlapping Clusters (GOC), is a less complex nonadaptive
alternative for training subset selection. The proposed AGNN and GOC methods
are evaluated in image super-resolution, deblurring and denoising applications
and shown to outperform spectral clustering, soft clustering, and geodesic
distance based subset selection in most settings.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures and 5 table
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
Locally adaptive image denoising by a statistical multiresolution criterion
We demonstrate how one can choose the smoothing parameter in image denoising
by a statistical multiresolution criterion, both globally and locally. Using
inhomogeneous diffusion and total variation regularization as examples for
localized regularization schemes, we present an efficient method for locally
adaptive image denoising. As expected, the smoothing parameter serves as an
edge detector in this framework. Numerical examples illustrate the usefulness
of our approach. We also present an application in confocal microscopy
