Spectral Embedding
Spectral embedding techniques aim to represent complex data, such as graphs or hyperspectral images, in lower-dimensional spaces while preserving essential structural information. Current research focuses on developing efficient and scalable algorithms, including those based on graph convolutional networks, random Fourier features, and neural networks, to address challenges posed by high dimensionality and large datasets. These advancements are improving performance in various applications, such as graph clustering, hyperspectral image classification, and single-cell genomics analysis, by enabling more effective data analysis and pattern recognition. Furthermore, ongoing work explores connections between spectral embedding and other machine learning paradigms, like contrastive learning and matrix completion, to enhance theoretical understanding and practical applicability.
