This work studies the denoising of piecewise smooth graph signals that exhibit inhomogeneous levels of smoothness over a graph, where the value at each node can be vector-valued. We extend the graph trend filtering framework to denoising…
It is of particular interest to reconstruct or estimate bandlimited graph signals, which are smoothly varying signals defined over graphs, from partial noisy measurements. However, choosing an optimal subset of nodes to sample is NP-hard.…

The original contributions of this paper are twofold: a new understanding of the influence of noise on the eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian of a set of image patches, and an algorithm to estimate a denoised set of patches from a noisy…
We propose a denoising method for multimodal graph signals by an alternating minimization scheme that sequentially solves signal restoration and graph learning problems. Many complex-structured data, i.e., those on sensor networks, can…
The sparsest cut problem consists of identifying a small set of edges that breaks the graph into balanced sets of vertices. The normalized cut problem balances the total degree, instead of the size, of the resulting sets. Applications of…

Bayesian inference for undirected graphical models is mostly restricted to the class of decomposable graphs, as they enjoy a rich set of properties making them amenable to high-dimensional problems. While parameter inference is…
Dynamical processes can be transformed into graphs through a family of mappings called visibility algorithms, enabling the possibility of (i) making empirical data analysis and signal processing and (ii) characterising classes of dynamical…

Network (or graph) sparsification compresses a graph by removing inessential edges. By reducing the data volume, it accelerates or even facilitates many downstream analyses. Still, the accuracy of many sparsification methods, with…
