Context-Aware Interpretable Representations for Retrieval and Graph Convolutional Network Classification

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.

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.

Nonlinear Laplacians Improve Signed-Directed Graph Learning

arXiv:2608. 00836v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While signed-directed graphs have been studied using linear Laplacians in the design of graph neural networks, relatively little research has focused on developing non-linear Laplacian operators for such networks.

GraphK: Variable-Size Graph Generation with Efficient Edge Construction

GraphK introduces an encoder‑sampler‑decoder framework that generates variable‑size graphs efficiently. It learns permutation‑invariant latent representations and samples new node embeddings via maximum likelihood, enabling both upscaling and downscaling of graph size. Edge construction uses KDTree‑based top‑k neighbor search in latent space, reducing computational cost while capturing graph properties.
