Optimal Sensor Placement via Graph-constrained Flow Matching

Feng Ji, Jingyang Dai, Wee Peng Tay, Sirajudeen Gulam Razul

Optimal sensor placement is a fundamental problem in graph signal processing (GSP), where a limited number of sensors are deployed to reconstruct a continuous signal field. Existing GSP methods rely on combinatorial optimization over discretized graphs, resulting in high computational cost and sensor locations restricted to graph vertices. We reformulate sensor placement as a continuous-space generative modeling problem. An offline GSP optimization routine first generates training samples of optimal sensor configurations, from which a flow matching (FM) model learns their distribution. At inference, the learned velocity field directly generates continuous sensor coordinates, eliminating online combinatorial optimization. We further develop a permutation-invariant conditional generation framework for deployment with fixed anchor sensors. Experiments on a realistic radio propagation simulator demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework for sensor placement.

We address the problem of inferring a directed network from nodal measurements generated by linear diffusion dynamics on the sought graph. Observations are modeled as the outputs of a graph convolutional filter, i.e., a polynomial (with unknown coefficients) of a local diffusion…

Gauge-Invariant, Parameter-Insensitive Regularization for Potential Recovery from Flow on Directed Graphs

Mohammad Forouhesh

Recovering a latent potential from observed flow on a directed graph (a discrete Poisson problem with Dirichlet boundaries) is ill-posed, and the standard fix backfires: ridge regularization shrinks toward a gauge-meaningless origin, collapsing and reversing the recovered orderin…
