*"Estimating a smooth function on a large graph by Bayesian Laplacian
regularization "*



Abstract

In this talk I discuss a paper in which we study a Bayesian approach to
estimating a smooth function in the context of regression or classification
problems on large graphs. We derive theoretical results that show how
asymptotically optimal Bayesian regularization can be achieved under an
asymptotic shape assumption on the underlying graph and a smoothness
condition on the target function, both formulated in terms of the graph
Laplacian. The priors we study are randomly scaled Gaussians with precision
operators involving the Laplacian of the graph.
Based on joint work with Alice Kirichenko.

Kind regards,

Raffaella Piccarreta and Isadora Antoniano
