JFRFFNet: A Data-Model Co-Driven Graph Signal Denoising Model with Partial Prior Information

Abstract: Wiener filtering in the joint time-vertex fractional Fourier transform (JFRFT) domain has shown high effectiveness in denoising time-varying graph signals. Traditional filtering models use grid search to determine the transform-order pair and compute filter coefficients, while learnable ones employ gradient-descent strategies to optimize them; both require complete prior information of graph signals. To overcome this shortcoming, this letter proposes a data-model co-driven denoising approach, termed neural-network-aided joint time-vertex fractional Fourier filtering (JFRFFNet), which embeds the JFRFT-domain Wiener filter model into a neural network and updates the transform-order pair and filter coefficients through a data-driven approach. This design enables effective denoising using only partial prior information. Experiments demonstrate that JFRFFNet achieves significant improvements in output signal-to-noise ratio compared with some state-of-the-art methods.
