Geometric diffusions as a tool for harmonic analysis and structure definition of data: Diffusion maps

TLDR
The process of iterating or diffusing the Markov matrix is seen as a generalization of some aspects of the Newtonian paradigm, in which local infinitesimal transitions of a system lead to global macroscopic descriptions by integration.
Abstract
We provide a framework for structural multiscale geometric organization of graphs and subsets of R(n). We use diffusion semigroups to generate multiscale geometries in order to organize and represent complex structures. We show that appropriately selected eigenfunctions or scaling functions of Markov matrices, which describe local transitions, lead to macroscopic descriptions at different scales. The process of iterating or diffusing the Markov matrix is seen as a generalization of some aspects of the Newtonian paradigm, in which local infinitesimal transitions of a system lead to global macroscopic descriptions by integration. We provide a unified view of ideas from data analysis, machine learning, and numerical analysis.

Manifold Regularization: A Geometric Framework for Learning from Labeled and Unlabeled Examples

TL;DR: A semi-supervised framework that incorporates labeled and unlabeled data in a general-purpose learner is proposed and properties of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces are used to prove new Representer theorems that provide theoretical basis for the algorithms.

Semi-Supervised Learning

TL;DR: Semi-supervised learning (SSL) as discussed by the authors is the middle ground between supervised learning (in which all training examples are labeled) and unsupervised training (where no label data are given).

The emerging field of signal processing on graphs: Extending high-dimensional data analysis to networks and other irregular domains

TL;DR: The field of signal processing on graphs merges algebraic and spectral graph theoretic concepts with computational harmonic analysis to process high-dimensional data on graphs as discussed by the authors, which are the analogs to the classical frequency domain and highlight the importance of incorporating the irregular structures of graph data domains when processing signals on graphs.

Normalized cuts and image segmentation

TL;DR: This work treats image segmentation as a graph partitioning problem and proposes a novel global criterion, the normalized cut, for segmenting the graph, which measures both the total dissimilarity between the different groups as well as the total similarity within the groups.
