Optimal Transport for Network Comparison: A Review with Machine Learning Applications

The paper reviews the use of optimal transport for comparing undirected, unweighted graphs, focusing on three main distances: Wasserstein, Gromov-Wasserstein, and Bures-Wasserstein. It discusses closed-form solutions for the Wasserstein distance in one dimension, how transport plans identify influential nodes after perturbations, and derives spectral bounds for the Bures-Wasserstein distance to avoid full decompositions. The authors evaluate these distances on synthetic clustering data and a real-world time‑series network for anomaly detection.

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.
