Spectral Graph Neural Networks with Hermite Polynomials: A Comprehensive Study

The paper introduces HermNet, a spectral graph neural network that uses Hermite polynomials for nodewise prediction and normalized propagation, avoiding eigendecomposition or learned bases. It compares HermNet to other complete polynomial bases, examining how coordinate choices affect optimization under limited training. Experiments on synthetic and real data show regimes where HermNet outperforms alternatives, and analyze the impact of calibration, regularization, and training duration on performance.

Learning Spectral-Like Mesh-Free Discretisations

The paper introduces Spectral-like Neural Discretisation (SpeND), a mesh‑free method that learns stencil weights via a neural network to approximate the modal response of a spectral operator across a specified band of wavenumbers. By projecting the network output onto the space of polynomial‑consistent weights, SpeND ensures exact consistency while minimizing dispersion and dissipation errors in a self‑supervised, physics‑agnostic manner. Experiments on disordered 2‑D node sets demonstrate that the learned fourth‑order operator matches the exact spectral response over a wider band than traditional LABFM or structured‑grid finite differences, and retains fourth‑order convergence upon refinement.

Graph Learning Should Move Beyond Restrictive Views of Spectral and Message-Passing GNNs

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.

Spectral Gating via Damped Oscillations for Adaptive Implicit Neural Representations

arXiv:2606. 23129v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) have been proven successful in encoding continuous signals through coordinate-based networks, yet facing a spectral dilemma: periodic activations capture fine details but act as all-pass filters that memorise noise, while spatially compact activations regularise effectively but suffer from low-frequency bias.
