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.

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 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.
