Graph transform learning.

Abstract

Transform learning is a new representation learning framework where we learn an operator/transform that analyses the data to generate the coefficient/representation. We propose a variant of it called the graph transform learning; in this we explicitly account for the correlation in the dataset in terms of graph Laplacian. We will give two variants; in the first one the graph is computed from the data and fixed during the operation. In the second, the graph is learnt iteratively from the data during operation. The first technique will be applied for clustering, and the second one for solving inverse problems.
