Can Computational Reducibility Lead to Transferable Models for Graph Combinatorial Optimization?

ICML 2026poster

A key challenge in deriving unified neural solvers for combinatorial optimization (CO) is efficient generalization of models between one set of tasks to new tasks not used during the initial training process. To address it, we first establish a new model, which uses a GCON module as a form of expres…

VDW-GNNs: Vector diffusion wavelets for geometric graph neural networks

ICML 2026poster

We introduce vector diffusion wavelets (VDWs), a novel family of wavelets inspired by the vector diffusion maps algorithm that was introduced to analyze data lying in the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. We show that these wavelets may be effectively incorporated into a family of geometric g…

HiPoNet: A Multi-View Simplicial Complex Network for High Dimensional Point-Cloud and Single-Cell data

NeurIPS 2025poster

In this paper, we propose HiPoNet, an end-to-end differentiable neural network for regression, classification, and representation learning on high-dimensional point clouds. Our work is motivated by single-cell data which can have very high-dimensionality --exceeding the capabilities of existing meth…

Hyperedge Representations with Hypergraph Wavelets: Applications to Spatial Transcriptomics

ICASSP 2025accepted

In many data-driven applications, higher-order relationships among multiple objects are essential in capturing complex interactions. Hypergraphs, which generalize graphs by allowing edges to connect any number of nodes, provide a flexible and powerful framework for modeling such higher-order relatio…

BLIS-Net: Classifying and Analyzing Signals on Graphs

AISTATS 2024poster

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have emerged as a powerful tool for tasks such as node classification and graph classification. However, much less work has been done on signal classification, where the data consists of many functions (referred to as signals) defined on the vertices of a single graph. T…

Directed Scattering for Knowledge Graph-Based Cellular Signaling Analysis

ICASSP 2024accepted

Directed graphs are a natural model for many phenomena, in particular scientific knowledge graphs such as molecular interaction or chemical reaction networks that define cellular signaling relationships. In these situations, source nodes typically have distinct biophysical properties from sinks. Due…

Can Hybrid Geometric Scattering Networks Help Solve the Maximum Clique Problem?

NeurIPS 2022accept

We propose a geometric scattering-based graph neural network (GNN) for approximating solutions of the NP-hard maximum clique (MC) problem. We construct a loss function with two terms, one which encourages the network to find highly connected nodes and the other which acts as a surrogate for the cons…

Scattering Statistics of Generalized Spatial Poisson Point Processes

ICASSP 2022accepted

We present a machine learning model for the analysis of randomly generated discrete signals, modeled as the points of an inhomogeneous, compound Poisson point process. Like the wavelet scattering transform introduced by Mallat, our construction is naturally invariant to translations and reflections,…

MagNet: A Neural Network for Directed Graphs

NeurIPS 2021poster

The prevalence of graph-based data has spurred the rapid development of graph neural networks (GNNs) and related machine learning algorithms. Yet, despite the many datasets naturally modeled as directed graphs, including citation, website, and traffic networks, the vast majority of this research foc…
