arXiv:2506. 13139v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) often operate on high-dimensional data and rely on overparameterized models, where classical low-dimensional intuitions break down.
arXiv:2608.21607v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We investigate when a sparse nonnegative matrix can be recovered from a real-valued matrix of much lower rank by zeroing out its negative elements. T...

This review discusses how neuroimaging data can be represented as symmetric positive-definite (SPD) matrices and analyzed using the Riemannian geometry of the SPD manifold. It surveys the evolution from modality-specific SPD representations to geometric shallow and deep learning methods, emphasizing how these approaches maintain structural constraints while integrating modern AI techniques. The paper frames SPD matrix learning as a bridge between classical geometric statistics and contemporary machine learning in neuroimaging and brain‑computer interface research.

arXiv:2607. 21039v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spectral methods are among the most widely used techniques for community detection, clustering, and graph learning.
The paper introduces Spectral Connectivity-Regularized Graph Learning (SCoGL), a method for learning sparse graphs from limited data by incorporating Laplacian spectral priors that promote global connectivity. SCoGL extends the graphical lasso objective with a connectivity prior derived from Laplacian eigenvalues and uses projected gradient descent with Armijo backtracking for optimization. Experiments demonstrate that SCoGL improves graph recovery and enhances downstream tasks such as graph signal denoising when observations are scarce.
arXiv:2608. 12757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Laplacian-regularized minimization is fundamental in signal processing and machine learning, but is limited by the dense and ill-conditioned nature of the graph Laplacian pseudoinverse.
arXiv:2504. 19419v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Local clustering aims to identify specific substructures within a large graph without any additional structural information of the graph.
The paper introduces a new dimensionality reduction technique that enhances nearest‑neighbour relationships to estimate high‑information projections. It constructs a matrix encoding local covariance via nearest‑neighbour pairs and shows that, under standard regularity conditions, this matrix consistently estimates the Density Information Matrix (DIM), a non‑parametric analogue of the Fisher Information Matrix. The authors also demonstrate the method’s practical usefulness for clustering and outlier detection.
