Statistical Testing on Directed Graphs by Surrogate Data Generation

arXiv:2606. 00758v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent years, graph signal processing has emerged as a powerful framework at the intersection of signal processing and graph theory, providing tools for the analysis of signals defined on nodes while accounting for their relationships represented by edges.

Network Denoising Revisited: A Ricci-Flow-Inspired Graph Diffusion Method

The paper introduces Ricci-Diffusion, a graph denoising technique that uses curvature-guided diffusion inspired by Ricci flow. Unlike traditional similarity-driven methods, it modulates local transport in the diffusion kernel based on edge-level curvature, steering edge-weight updates toward a more regular graph geometry. The authors provide theoretical analysis showing curvature’s ability to distinguish graph structures and induce first-order corrections, and demonstrate that the method converges to a stable denoised network, improving structure recovery and downstream performance on real-world and synthetic graphs.

Efficient Learning of Balanced Signed Graphs via Sparse Linear Programming

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.

Filter Learning for Subgraphs: Algebras and Performance Risk Bounds

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.
