Translating Diffusion, Wavelets, and Regularisation into Residual Networks
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) often perform well, but their stability is poorly understood. To address this problem, we consider the simple prototypical problem of signal denoising, where classical approaches such as nonlinear diffusion, wavelet-based methods and regularisation offer provable stability guarantees. To transfer such guarantees to CNNs, we interpret numerical approximations of these classical methods as a specific residual network (ResNet) architecture. This leads to a dictionary which allows to translate diffusivities, shrinkage functions, and regularisers into activation functions, and enables a direct communication between the four research communities. On the CNN side, it does not only inspire new families of nonmonotone activation functions, but also introduces intrinsically stable architectures for an arbitrary number of layers.

VDW-GNNs: Vector diffusion wavelets for geometric graph neural networks
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 …
InfoGain Wavelets: Furthering the Design of Diffusion Wavelets for Graph-Structured Data
Diffusion wavelets extract information from graph signals at different scales of resolution by utilizing graph diffusion operators raised to various powers, known as diffusion scales. Traditionally, the diffusion scales …
