Abstract

This paper introduces a novel approach to graph embedding that leverages graph neural networks to create a 'meta-graph' of data across multiple scales. The goal is to facilitate the identification of long-range dependencies and non-local relationships within complex datasets. Current methods typically focus on local analysis, restricting the scope of investigation to individual nodes or small clusters. This work proposes a technique that allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the data's structure by representing the data as a network of interconnected nodes, enabling the analysis of relationships that extend beyond immediate neighbors. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this method through a series of quantitative and qualitative analyses, showcasing its ability to uncover hidden patterns and dependencies across multiple scales. The core mechanism involves constructing a meta-graph, where nodes represent data points and edges represent relationships. This facilitates the modeling of complex network structures and the identification of long-range connections.

Locality-Preserving Graph Laplacian Manifold Learning Based Model Predictive Control for Three-Phase Inverters

This article presents a model predictive control (MPC) strategy for three-phase inverters based on locality preserving projections (LPPs). Unlike conventional machine learning–based MPC approaches that rely on predefined or high-dimensional input features, the proposed LPP-MPC automatically extracts compact, informative representations by preserving the data’s intrinsic geometric structure. This dimensionality reduction enables fast linear control-law evaluation with computational complexity O(1), making the controller well-suited for real-time implementation. Experimental results demonstrate that the LPP-MPC achieves lower total harmonic distortion (THD) and reduced tracking error compared to quadratic-programming MPC under both linear and nonlinear load conditions, and the proposed controller maintains consistently lower THD throughout load transients than other methods such as two-degree-of-freedom MPC. Compared to existing model-free MPC and deep learning neural network, the LPP-MPC has the lowest THD and root mean square error with the least computational time owing to its efficient linear structure and strong generalization capability.
