Graph signal processing tasks that leverage spectral information typically assume access to the complete graph topology, which is often unavailable in practice. We propose a systematic framework for subgraph filter learning (SFL), where subgraph-supported operators approximate ambient graph filters under partial observations.
arXiv:2602. 10031v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Graph neural networks (GNNs) are commonly divided into message-passing neural networks (MPNNs) and spectral GNNs, reflecting two largely separate research traditions in machine learning and signal processing.

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.

The paper presents provable guarantees for a spectral method that recovers binary node labels on signed graphs with edge‑flip noise. It provides graph‑structure‑agnostic bounds on approximate inference accuracy and maximum angle deviation, using matrix concentration and eigenvector perturbation techniques. The results connect to the Cheeger constant and are validated with synthetic experiments, marking the first theoretical analysis of this spectral approach.

The article reviews the problem of learning graph structures from data, noting that research has traditionally split into two paths: inferring the topology of a single graph from observations on it, and learning a generative distribution from multiple observed graphs to sample new ones. It proposes a unified framework that treats both as inverse problems of a common graph generation process, reviews key methods, and discusses their interrelations, strengths, and limitations. The review highlights opportunities for cross‑paradigm integration and outlines future research directions.

The paper studies the stability of graph-aware continuous‑time generative models that use a graph filter combined with a learned graph neural network. It derives explicit Wasserstein bounds showing how relative graph perturbations affect the generated distributions, and proposes a principled framework for designing stable graph filters that preserve heat‑diffusion smoothing while improving structural stability. Experiments on synthetic and fMRI data demonstrate that these stable filters enhance robustness and match or surpass the generative quality of a heat‑equation baseline.

The paper introduces an efficient method for learning balanced signed graph Laplacians directly from data. By extending the CLIME sparse inverse covariance estimation framework, it formulates a linear programming problem for each Laplacian column with sign constraints that enforce positive edges between nodes of the same polarity and negative edges otherwise. The authors develop a tailored ADMM-based sparse LP solver, prove convergence properties, and demonstrate through experiments that the learned balanced graphs outperform existing methods and allow the reuse of spectral filtering tools, wavelets, and graph neural networks designed for positive graphs.

Modern sensing, communication, and learning systems generate heterogeneous network signals, with local data differing in dimension, modality, and geometric structure. Processing such data requires a mathematical framework capable of simultaneously modeling heterogeneous local signal spaces and the transformations relating them.
