Data Segmentation and Fusion for Classification of Armed Personnel Using Micro-Doppler Signatures

In recent years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been increasingly used for classifying radar micro-Doppler signatures of various targets. However, obtaining large amounts of data for efficient CNN training in defence and surveillance scenarios can be challenging. Therefore, designing techniques that maximize the use of available...

Learning Time-Varying Graphs from Online Data

This work proposes an algorithmic framework to learn time-varying graphs from online data. The generality offered by the framework renders it model-independent, i.e., it can be theoretically analyzed in its abstract formulation and then instantiated under a variety of model-dependent graph learning problems. This is possible by phrasing (time...

State-space based network topology identification

In this work, we explore the state-space formulation of network processes to recover the underlying network structure (local connections). To do so, we employ subspace techniques borrowed from system identification literature and extend them to the network topology inference problem. This approach provides a unified view of the traditional...

State-Space Network Topology Identification from Partial Observations

In this article, we explore the state-space formulation of a network process to recover from partial observations the network topology that drives its dynamics. To do so, we employ subspace techniques borrowed from system identification literature and extend them to the network topology identification problem. This approach provides a unified...

Topology-Aware Joint Graph Filter and Edge Weight Identification for Network Processes

Data defined over a network have been successfully modelled by means of graph filters. However, although in many scenarios the connectivity of the network is known, e.g., smart grids, social networks, etc., the lack of well-defined interaction weights hinders the ability to model the observed networked data using graph filters. Therefore, in...

Self-Driven Graph Volterra Models for Higher-Order Link Prediction

Link prediction is one of the core problems in network and data science with widespread applications. While predicting pairwise nodal interactions (links) in network data has been investigated extensively, predicting higher-order interactions (higher-order links) is still not fully understood. Several approaches have been advocated to predict...

On the Limits of Finite-Time Distributed Consensus Through Successive Local Linear Operations

In this work, we explore the limits of finite-time distributed consensus through the intersection of graph filters and matrix function theory. We focus on algorithms capable to compute the consensus exactly through filtering operations over a graph, and that have been proven to converge in finite time. In this context, we show that there...

Sparsest Network Support Estimation: A Submodular Approach

In this work, we address the problem of identifying the underlying network structure of data. Different from other approaches, which are mainly based on convex relaxations of an integer problem, here we take a distinct route relying on algebraic properties of a matrix representation of the network. By describing what we call possible...
