Abstract

Graph-based representations have been used with considerable success in computer vision in the abstraction and recognition of object shape and scene structure. Despite this, the methodology available for learning structural representations from sets of training examples is relatively limited. In this paper we take a simple yet effective spectral approach to graph learning. In particular, we define a novel model of structural representation based on the spectral decomposition of graph Laplacian of a set of graphs, but which make away with the need of one-to-one node-correspondences at the base of several previous approaches, and handles directly a set of other invariants of the representation which are often neglected. An experimental evaluation shows that the approach significantly improves over the state of the art.
