Graph Signal Separation With Learnable Spectral Filters
Separating multiple graph signals from a single observed mixture is an inherently ill-posed problem that traditionally relies on restrictive and handcrafted priors. This letter addresses this challenge by proposing an unsupervised learnable spectral filtering framework. Our approach reconstructs latent components by passing a fixed random input through learnable spectral filters, operating within the low-frequency eigenspace of each source-specific graph Laplacian. The architecture implicitly biases the recovered signals toward smooth patterns by confining reconstruction to these low-frequency subspaces. This acts as a structural prior, establishing a principled bridge between classical graph spectral analysis and modern neural decomposition. Numerical experiments confirm that this framework successfully isolates individual sources using solely the observed mixture and the underlying graph topology.
