• Abstract: Sampling stochastic signals supported on a graph underlies many graph machine learning tasks, including recommender systems, forecasting in financial markets, and wireless network optimization. In these settings, the target signals are realizations of unknown conditional distributions. However, prevailing approaches rely mostly on intricate, application-tailored designs that often regress to a conditional mean instead of sampling from the conditional law. This paper unifies such problems as conditional graph signal generative modeling and tackles them with a single denoising diffusion framework. We learn a reverse diffusion process, parametrized by graph neural networks (GNNs), that draws graph signals conditioned directly on the graph topology and on node-feature side information. The reverse process is realized by a novel architecture, the U-Graph Neural Network (U-GNN), which generalizes the image-convolutional U-Net to graph-structured signals. The U-GNN performs multi-resolution encoder--decoder processing in which pooling and unpooling reduce to a learned node selection, expressed by nested selection matrices, and a zero-padded lifting of coarse signals back to the full node set. The graph convolutions are carried out on the original graph, with a stride that sets their hop reach, so the U-GNN bypasses explicit graph coarsening at every resolution. We demonstrate our method on two generative tasks: stock price forecasting and optimal wireless resource allocation, with extensive numerical results in both domains.

  We address the challenges of heterophilic graphs with Graph Echo State Network (GESN) for node classification. GESN is a reservoir computing model for graphs, where node embeddings are computed by an untrained message-passing function. Our experiments show that reservoir models are able to achieve better or comparable accuracy with respect to most fully trained deep models.

• Distributional Signals for Node Classification in Graph Neural Networks [36.30743671968087]
  In graph neural networks (GNNs) both node features and labels are examples of graph signals, a key notion in graph signal processing (GSP) In our framework, we work with the distributions of node labels instead of their values and propose notions of smoothness and non-uniformity of such distributional graph signals. We then propose a general regularization method for GNNs that allows us to encode distributional smoothness and non-uniformity of the model output in semi-supervised node classification tasks.

  We propose a graph convolutional relationship between the observed and latent graphs, and formulate the graph learning task as a network inverse (deconvolution) problem. In lieu of eigendecomposition-based spectral methods, we unroll and truncate proximal gradient iterations to arrive at a parameterized neural network architecture that we call a Graph Deconvolution Network (GDN) GDNs can learn a distribution of graphs in a supervised fashion, perform link prediction or edge-weight regression tasks by adapting the loss function, and they are inherently inductive.
