Real-world data is often times associated with irregular structures that can analytically be represented as graphs. Having access to this graph, which is sometimes trivially evident from domain knowledge, provides a better representation of the data and facilitates various information processing tasks. However, in cases where the underlying graph is unavailable, it needs to be learned from the data itself for data representation, data processing and inference purposes. Existing literature on learning graphs from data has mostly considered arbitrary graphs, whereas the graphs generating real-world data tend to have additional structure that can be incorporated in the graph learning procedure. Structure-aware graph learning methods require learning fewer parameters and have the potential to reduce computational, memory and sample complexities. In light of this, the focus of this paper is to devise a method to learn structured graphs from data that are given in the form of product graphs. Product graphs arise naturally in many real-world datasets and provide an efficient and compact representation of large-scale graphs through several smaller factor graphs. To this end, first the graph learning problem is posed as a linear program, which (on average) outperforms the state-of-the-art graph learning algorithms. This formulation is of independent interest itself as it shows that graph learning is possible through a simple linear program. Afterwards, an alternating minimization-based algorithm aimed at learning various types of product graphs is proposed, and local convergence guarantees to the true solution are established for this algorithm. Finally the performance gains, reduced sample complexity, and inference capabilities of the proposed algorithm over existing methods are also validated through numerical simulations on synthetic and real datasets.

The problem of graph learning concerns the construction of an explicit topological structure revealing the relationship between nodes representing data entities, which plays an increasingly important role in the success of many graph-based representations and algorithms in the field of machine learning and graph signal processing. In this paper, we propose a novel graph learning framework that incorporates the node-side and observation-side information, and in particular the covariates that help to explain the dependency structures in graph signals. To this end, we consider graph signals as functions in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space associated with a Kronecker product kernel, and integrate functional learning with smoothness-promoting graph learning to learn a graph representing the relationship between nodes. The functional learning increases the robustness of graph learning against missing and incomplete information in the graph signals. In addition, we develop a novel graph-based regularisation method which, when combined with the Kronecker product kernel, enables our model to capture both the dependency explained by the graph and the dependency due to graph signals observed under different but related circumstances, e.g. different points in time. The latter means the graph signals are free from the i.i.d. assumptions required by the classical graph learning models. Experiments on both synthetic and real-world data show that our methods outperform the state-of-the-art models in learning a meaningful graph topology from graph signals, in particular under heavy noise, missing values, and multiple dependency.
In this paper, we propose a machine learning (ML) based physical layer receiver solution for demodulating OFDM signals that are subject to a high level of nonlinear distortion. Specifically, a novel deep learning based convolutional neural network receiver is devised, containing layers in both time- and frequency domains, allowing to demodulate and decode the transmitted bits reliably despite the high error vector magnitude (EVM) in the transmit signal. Extensive set of numerical results is provided, in the context of 5G NR uplink incorporating also measured terminal power amplifier characteristics. The obtained results show that the proposed receiver system is able to clearly outperform classical linear receivers as well as existing ML receiver approaches, especially when the EVM is high in comparison with modulation order. The proposed ML receiver can thus facilitate pushing the terminal power amplifier (PA) systems deeper into saturation, and thereon improve the terminal power-efficiency, radiated power and network coverage.
Special high-end sensors with expensive hardware are usually needed to measure shock signals with high accuracy. In this paper, we show that cheap low-end sensors calibrated by deep neural networks are also capable to measure high-g shocks accurately. Firstly we perform drop shock tests to collect a dataset of shock signals measured by sensors of different fidelity. Secondly, we propose a novel network to effectively learn both the signal peak and overall shape. The results show that the proposed network is capable to map low-end shock signals to its high-end counterparts with satisfactory accuracy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to apply deep learning techniques to calibrate shock sensors.
In the continuous setting, we expect the product of two oscillating functions to oscillate even more (generically). On a graph $G=(V,E)$, there are only $|V|$ eigenvectors of the Laplacian $L=D-A$, so one oscillates `the most. The purpose of this short note is to point out an interesting phenomenon: if $phi_1, phi_2$ are delocalized eigenvectors of $L$ corresponding to large eigenvalues, then their (pointwise) product $phi_1 cdot phi_2$ is smooth (in the sense of small Dirichlet energy): highly oscillatory functions have largely matching oscillation patterns.
In sparse signal representation, the choice of a dictionary often involves a tradeoff between two desirable properties -- the ability to adapt to specific signal data and a fast implementation of the dictionary. To sparsely represent signals residing on weighted graphs, an additional design challenge is to incorporate the intrinsic geometric structure of the irregular data domain into the atoms of the dictionary. In this work, we propose a parametric dictionary learning algorithm to design data-adapted, structured dictionaries that sparsely represent graph signals. In particular, we model graph signals as combinations of overlapping local patterns. We impose the constraint that each dictionary is a concatenation of subdictionaries, with each subdictionary being a polynomial of the graph Laplacian matrix, representing a single pattern translated to different areas of the graph. The learning algorithm adapts the patterns to a training set of graph signals. Experimental results on both synthetic and real datasets demonstrate that the dictionaries learned by the proposed algorithm are competitive with and often better than unstructured dictionaries learned by state-of-the-art numerical learning algorithms in terms of sparse approximation of graph signals. In contrast to the unstructured dictionaries, however, the dictionaries learned by the proposed algorithm feature localized atoms and can be implemented in a computationally efficient manner in signal processing tasks such as compression, denoising, and classification.
