A Multiscale Pyramid Transform for Graph Signals

Pierre Vandergheynst, David Shuman, Mohammadjavad Faraji

Multiscale transforms designed to process analog and discrete-time signals and images cannot be directly applied to analyze high-dimensional data residing on the vertices of a weighted graph, as they do not capture the intrinsic topology of the graph data ...

Learning with Surprise : Theory and Applications

Mohammadjavad Faraji

Everybody knows what it feels to be surprised. Surprise raises our attention and is crucial for learning. It is a ubiquitous concept whose traces have been found in both neuroscience and machine learning. However, a comprehensive theory has not yet been de ...

Semi-Supervised Learning with Spectral Graph Wavelets

Pierre Vandergheynst, David Shuman, Mohammadjavad Faraji

We consider the transductive learning problem when the labels belong to a continuous space. Through the use of spectral graph wavelets, we explore the benefits of multiresolution analysis on a graph constructed from the labeled and unlabeled data. The spec ...
