📌 Key Takeaways
- Researchers have introduced a spectral-based method to determine the optimal Graph Shift Operator (GSO) for neural networks.
- Current practices for selecting GSOs in Graph Neural Networks are largely empirical and lack theoretical grounding.
- The GSO is a fundamental matrix representation used to filter node signals and define graph structure within a model.
- The new framework aims to bridge the gap between spatial and spectral approaches in machine learning.

arXiv:2602.06557v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have established themselves as the leading models for learning on graph-structured data, generally categorized into spatial and spectral approaches. Central to these architectures is the Graph Shift Operator (GSO), a matrix representation of the graph structure used to filter node signals. However, selecting the optimal GSO, whether fixed or learnable, remains largely empirical. In this paper, we introduce a novel al
