A dictionary learning framework for graphs via filters and optimal transport

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.05919v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a graph dictionary learning (GDL) framework where each graph is represented as a zero-mean Gaussian distribution derived from its filtered Laplacian. Each observed graph is approximated by a barycenter over learned atom graphs, computed under the filter graph distance (fGOT), a graph comparison metric sensitive to global structural properties. The reconstruction error between the observed graph and its barycenter is measured by the surrogate fGOT (sfGOT) distance, a tractable approximation of fGOT that handles graphs without known node correspondence, and is minimized end-to-end via backpropagation. We further provide a novel interpretation of sfGOT through the lens of the Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion, showing that minimi
