arXiv:2607. 09104v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While the growing availability of image data has driven significant advances, labeling datasets remains costly and time-consuming.
The paper introduces an unsupervised framework that merges manifold learning with rank‑based interpretable graph embeddings to address the Geometric and Interpretability Gaps in visual representation learning. By first analyzing contextual information on the dataset manifold and then producing sparse, self‑explainable embeddings, the method achieves dimensionality reduction while preserving or improving performance in image retrieval and semi‑supervised Graph Convolutional Network classification. Experiments across varied datasets confirm that these context‑aware representations maintain high downstream effectiveness.
arXiv:2607. 12054v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast ultrasound is widely used for screening, yet automated analysis remains challenging due to speckle noise, acquisition variability, and weak separation of benign and malignant cases in standard ultrasound imaging.
Breast ultrasound is widely used for screening, yet automated analysis remains challenging due to speckle noise, acquisition variability, and weak separation of benign and malignant cases in standard ultrasound imaging. Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have recently emerged as a promising approach by leveraging relationships among similar patient samples.
arXiv:2607. 03587v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose NetinfoGC, a framework for graph classification that extends the Network Usable Information (NUI) paradigm to graph-level learning.
The paper introduces RGC‑Net, a Reservoir‑Based Graph Convolutional Network that combines fixed‑random reservoir dynamics with a structured convolutional framework for graph learning. It addresses limitations of existing reservoir‑based GNNs by adding a leaky integrator for better feature retention and a robust, adaptable architecture for graph classification and generation. Experiments demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance on classification and generative tasks, including dynamic brain connectivity, with faster convergence and reduced over‑smoothing.
arXiv:2607. 26404v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNN) facilitate effective prediction on graph data such as molecules, media networks and neural network blueprints.
The paper introduces a new image retrieval framework that merges neighbor embedding projections with rank-based manifold learning via rank aggregation. It uses UMAP to create low‑dimensional feature representations and combines ranked lists from UMAP and rank‑based re‑ranking methods using the Borda Count strategy. Experiments on public datasets with ResNet152, Swin Transformer, and DINOv2 features show that this combined approach improves retrieval performance, especially in scenarios where baseline representations have low precision.
Deep learning models have emerged in machine learning and related fields, demonstrating astonishing performance in various visual tasks. Despite their great success, however, these models are unable to fully encode intrinsic visual structures, and often ignore the spatial, topological, and semantic information contained within an image.
