• Title: Skeleton Regression: A Graph-Based Approach to Estimation with Manifold Structure
• Authors: Zeyu Wei, Yen-Chi Chen,
• Abstract summary: We introduce a new regression framework designed to deal with large-scale, complex data that lies around a low-dimensional manifold with noises. Our approach first constructs a graph representation, referred to as the skeleton, to capture the underlying geometric structure. We then define metrics on the skeleton graph and apply nonparametric regression techniques, along with feature transformations based on the graph, to estimate the regression function.

• Abstract: We introduce a new regression framework designed to deal with large-scale, complex data that lies around a low-dimensional manifold with noises. Our approach first constructs a graph representation, referred to as the skeleton, to capture the underlying geometric structure. We then define metrics on the skeleton graph and apply nonparametric regression techniques, along with feature transformations based on the graph, to estimate the regression function. We also discuss the limitations of some nonparametric regressors with respect to the general metric space such as the skeleton graph. The proposed regression framework suggests a novel way to deal with data with underlying geometric structures and provides additional advantages in handling the union of multiple manifolds, additive noises, and noisy observations. We provide statistical guarantees for the proposed method and demonstrate its effectiveness through simulations and real data examples.

  We define a novel Graph-Dictionary signal model, where a finite set of graphs characterizes relationships in data distribution through a weighted sum of their Laplacians. We propose a framework to infer the graph dictionary representation from observed data, along with a bilinear generalization of the primal-dual splitting algorithm to solve the learning problem. We exploit graph-dictionary representations in a motor imagery decoding task on brain activity data, where we classify imagined motion better than standard methods.

We present experiments applying this model to the prediction of wind directions and the percentage of the running gait cycle as a function of joint angles.

We prove the almost sure convergence of the empirical version of these regions on the manifold to their population counterparts.

  We propose a unified graph signal sampling framework which enjoys the benefits of graph signal analysis and processing. The key idea is to transform each user's ratings on the items to a function (signal) on the vertices of an item-item graph. For the online setting, we develop a Bayesian extension, i.e., BGS-IMC which considers continuous random Gaussian noise in the graph Fourier domain.
