Accelerated Graph Learning from Smooth Signals
share
We consider network topology identification subject to a signal smoothness prior on the nodal observations. A fast dual-based proximal gradient algorithm is developed to efficiently tackle a strongly convex, smoothness-regularized network inverse problem known to yield high-quality graph solutions. Unlike existing solvers, the novel iterations come with global convergence rate guarantees and do not require additional step-size tuning. Reproducible simulated tests demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in accurately recovering random and real-world graphs, markedly faster than state-of-the-art alternatives and without incurring an extra computational burden.
