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

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

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.

Aitchison Embeddings for Learning Compositional Graph Representations

The paper introduces a compositional graph embedding framework based on Aitchison geometry, where nodes are represented as simplex-valued mixtures over latent archetypal factors. By embedding these mixtures using isometric log-ratio coordinates, the method preserves Aitchison distances while allowing unconstrained optimization in Euclidean space, yielding intrinsically interpretable embeddings. The approach achieves competitive performance on node classification and link prediction tasks and enables principled component restriction through subcompositional coherence, allowing analysis of how archetype groups influence representations and predictions.
