Das, B. (author), Isufi, E. (author)Performing signal processing over graphs requires knowledge of the underlying fixed topology. However, graphs often grow in size with new nodes appearing over time, whose connectivity is typically unknown; hence, making more challenging the downstream tasks in applications like cold start recommendation. We address such a challenge for signal...conference paper 2022
