The paper introduces an efficient method for learning balanced signed graph Laplacians directly from data. By extending the CLIME sparse inverse covariance estimation framework, it formulates a linear programming problem for each Laplacian column with sign constraints that enforce positive edges between nodes of the same polarity and negative edges otherwise. The authors develop a tailored ADMM-based sparse LP solver, prove convergence properties, and demonstrate through experiments that the learned balanced graphs outperform existing methods and allow the reuse of spectral filtering tools, wavelets, and graph neural networks designed for positive graphs.
arXiv:2607. 07513v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-supervised learning matches supervised accuracy from a fraction of the labels, but the labeled-sample efficiency behind this has lacked a theoretical explanation.
arXiv:2606. 02223v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Estimating the generative mechanism of large-scale networks is a fundamental challenge in statistical machine learning.
The paper introduces a geometry‑aware graph construction method that adaptively selects Gaussian kernel bandwidths per node to align the kernel’s spectral complexity with the intrinsic dimensionality of the underlying manifold. By matching the kernel’s effective rank to a local intrinsic dimension estimate derived from a minimum spanning tree, the method operates within a manifold‑consistent log‑log scaling regime. Experiments on CIFAR‑100 demonstrate that this adaptive bandwidth approach consistently improves leave‑one‑out classification and label propagation accuracy compared to fixed‑bandwidth and other adaptive techniques.
