Graph signal processing tailored for subgraph focus and community structure

Miljan Petrovic

Community structure in graph-modeled data appears in a range of disciplines that comprise network science. Its importance relies on the influence it bears on other properties of graphs such as resilience, or prediction of missing connections. Nevertheless, ...

Generalised Implicit Neural Representations

Pierre Vandergheynst

We consider the problem of learning implicit neural representations (INRs) for signals on non-Euclidean domains. In the Euclidean case, INRs are trained on a discrete sampling of a signal over a regular lattice. Here, we assume that the continuous signal e ...

Step Change Detection for Improved ROCOF Evaluation of Power System Waveforms

Mario Paolone, Asja Derviskadic, Guglielmo Frigo, Alexandra Cameron Karpilow

In the analysis of power grid waveforms, the presence of amplitude or phase steps can disrupt the estimation of frequency and rate-of-change-of-frequency (ROCOF). Standard methods based on phasor-models fail in the extraction of signal parameters during th ...
