The paper introduces RicciPool, a graph pooling method that incorporates higher‑order connectivity via Ollivier‑Ricci curvature to reweight edges before spectral clustering. Unlike traditional pooling approaches that focus only on rough topology, RicciPool leverages local connection information to improve cluster assignment. Experiments on protein and social network datasets demonstrate its effectiveness.

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.

The paper introduces Ricci-Diffusion, a graph denoising technique that uses curvature-guided diffusion inspired by Ricci flow. Unlike traditional similarity-driven methods, it modulates local transport in the diffusion kernel based on edge-level curvature, steering edge-weight updates toward a more regular graph geometry. The authors provide theoretical analysis showing curvature’s ability to distinguish graph structures and induce first-order corrections, and demonstrate that the method converges to a stable denoised network, improving structure recovery and downstream performance on real-world and synthetic graphs.
