Complex Diffusion Maps with $ω$-Parameterized Kernels Revealing Inherent Harmonic Representations

- 设计ω参数化复数核,平衡局部与非局部连接关系。
- 在噪声数据中保持清晰特征间隔,提升谱分离效果。
- 适用于脑电、功能磁共振等数据,兼具高效与泛化能力。
本文提出复数扩散映射(CDM),一种新框架用于揭示高维数据中的主导复数谐波。受热方程局部高斯核与薛定谔方程非局部薛定谔核启发,我们构建了一类ω参数化的复数核,实现局部与非局部连接的统一权衡。基于算子谱理论建立了扩散算子、扩散距离与复数谐波映射的完整理论基础,并发展了以保持复数空间角结构为目标的优化解释,而非仅依赖实值幅度。在合成与真实数据集上广泛评估显示:复数核显著增强易混淆样本间的区分性,优于基于实数核的线性与非线性方法;在高噪声下仍保持清晰的特征间隔,提升谱分离能力。对静息态fMRI数据,能捕捉更强关联且非局部的时空动态;在无需任务调参的情况下,在公开EEG睡眠数据集上表现优异,同时计算效率高于传统机器学习与深度神经网络方法,体现其通用性与实用性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In this paper, we propose Complex Diffusion Maps (CDM), a novel diffusion mapping framework that aims to reveal the dominant complex harmonics of high-dimensional data. Inspired by the local Gaussian kernel relevant to the heat equation and the nonlocal Schrödinger kernel relevant to the Schrödinger equation, we propose a unified family of $ω$-parameterized complex-valued kernels for the trade-off between local and nonlocal connections. We establish the theoretical foundation based on the operator spectrum theory, where the corresponding diffusion operator, diffusion distance, and complex harmonic maps are well-defined. An optimization-based interpretation of the maps is also developed, aiming to preserve angular structure in the complex diffusion space rather than relying solely on real-valued magnitude. We extensively evaluate CDM on both synthetic and real-world datasets. The complex-valued kernel amplifies differences among easily confusable samples, improving discriminative power over both linear and nonlinear methods based on real-valued kernels. CDM remains robust in high-noise settings, yielding a clearer eigengap that enhances spectral separation. For resting-state fMRI data, CDM captures more strongly correlated and nonlocal spatiotemporal dynamics. Without task-specific tuning, CDM achieves competitive performance on a public EEG sleep dataset, while maintaining high computational efficiency compared with both traditional machine learning and deep neural network approaches, highlighting its generality and practical value.
