Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Graph signal processing (GSP) is an emerging area of increasing interest. Essentially, the concept of a signal defined in a uniform time or space grid is extended to more general grids and domains. This dramatically opens new possibilities for the signal processing community, by establishing a bridge between signal and data processing. So, currently, many efforts are driven to define concepts, perspectives, and applications to demonstrate that GSP has its own merits regarding other related areas of data processing. Thus, for example, the classical concept of filtering has been extended to GSP by an appropriate definition of shift operators and graph eigenfunctions. Other basic concepts like stationarity have been extended in different ways yet this is still an open issue of theoretical research. All these definitions depend on the considered graph connectivity matrix (Laplacian, adjacency, etc.), hence another key aspect in GSP is the definition of the graph structure and connections. In many applications, this is made by considering context-related information which helps define pairwise connections. However, in a general setting of data processing, the connectivity should be learned from training data. Several methods to learn the graph connectivity under regularization constraints have been proposed so far. In most cases, Gaussianity is assumed to model the underlying multidimensional distributions, and partial or total correlations are considered to quantify the pairwise connections.

The main goal of this Special Issue is to contribute to progress in GSP by incorporating concepts emanating from information theory. In particular, new developments may include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Interpretation of existing concepts and methods of GSP from an information theory perspective.
  • New definitions of stationarity, localization, and uncertainty in GSP.
  • Connectivity learning: non-Gaussian models, pairwise connections based on information theory concepts.
  • New applications of GSP.

Increasingly, popular online museums have significantly changed the way people acquire cultural knowledge. These online museums have been generating abundant amounts of cultural relics data. In recent years, researchers have used deep learning models that can automatically extract complex features and have rich representation capabilities to implement named-entity recognition (NER). However, the lack of labeled data in the field of cultural relics makes it difficult for deep learning models that rely on labeled data to achieve excellent performance. To address this problem, this paper proposes a semi-supervised deep learning model named SCRNER (Semi-supervised model for Cultural Relics’ Named Entity Recognition) that utilizes the bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) and conditional random fields (CRF) model trained by seldom labeled data and abundant unlabeled data to attain an effective performance. To satisfy the semi-supervised sample selection, we propose a repeat-labeled (relabeled) strategy to select samples of high confidence to enlarge the training set iteratively. In addition, we use embeddings from language model (ELMo) representations to dynamically acquire word representations as the input of the model to solve the problem of the blurred boundaries of cultural objects and Chinese characteristics of texts in the field of cultural relics. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed model, trained on limited labeled data, achieves an effective performance in the task of named entity recognition of cultural relics. Full article

The size of the largest binary single deletion code has been unknown for more than 50 years. It is known that Varshamov–Tenengolts (VT) code is an optimum single deletion code for block length n ≤ 10 ; however, only a few upper bounds of the size of single deletion code are proposed for larger n. We provide improved upper bounds using Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) relaxation technique. Especially, we show the size of single deletion code is smaller than or equal to 173 when the block length n is 11. In the second half of the paper, we propose a conjecture that is equivalent to the long-lasting conjecture that “VT code is optimum for all n”. This equivalent formulation of the conjecture contains small sub-problems that can be numerically verified. We provide numerical results that support the conjecture. Full article

Embedding learning on knowledge graphs (KGs) aims to encode all entities and relationships into a continuous vector space, which provides an effective and flexible method to implement downstream knowledge-driven artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Since KG construction usually involves automatic mechanisms with less human supervision, it inevitably brings in plenty of noises to KGs. However, most conventional KG embedding approaches inappropriately assume that all facts in existing KGs are completely correct and ignore noise issues, which brings about potentially serious errors. To address this issue, in this paper we propose a novel approach to learn embeddings with triple trustiness on KGs, which takes possible noises into consideration. Specifically, we calculate the trustiness value of triples according to the rich and relatively reliable information from large amounts of entity type instances and entity descriptions in KGs. In addition, we present a cross-entropy based loss function for model optimization. In experiments, we evaluate our models on KG noise detection, KG completion and classification. Through extensive experiments on three datasets, we demonstrate that our proposed model can learn better embeddings than all baselines on noisy KGs. Full article

The essential step of surrogating algorithms is phase randomizing the Fourier transform while preserving the original spectrum amplitude before computing the inverse Fourier transform. In this paper, we propose a new method which considers the graph Fourier transform. In this manner, much more flexibility is gained to define properties of the original graph signal which are to be preserved in the surrogates. The complex case is considered to allow unconstrained phase randomization in the transformed domain, hence we define a Hermitian Laplacian matrix that models the graph topology, whose eigenvectors form the basis of a complex graph Fourier transform. We have shown that the Hermitian Laplacian matrix may have negative eigenvalues. We also show in the paper that preserving the graph spectrum amplitude implies several invariances that can be controlled by the selected Hermitian Laplacian matrix. The interest of surrogating graph signals has been illustrated in the context of scarcity of instances in classifier training. Full article
