Adaptive Riemannian Graph Neural Networks

Xudong Wang, Chris Ding, Tongxin Li, Jicong Fan

ARGNN learns a node specific Riemannian metric instead of imposing one fixed curvature on an entire graph. A diagonal metric parameterization and geometric regularization support efficient training, with convergence analysis and experiments on homophilic and heterophilic graphs.

Quantum Learning and Estimation for Coordinated Operation between Distribution Networks and Energy Communities

Yingrui Zhuang, Lin Cheng, Yuji Cao, Tongxin Li, Ning Qi, Yan Xu, Yue Chen

A hybrid quantum learning model estimates energy community responses to prices, while quantum amplitude estimation supports uncertainty calculations. Numerical studies assess accuracy and resource requirements. Reported timing advantages assume ideal quantum devices rather than deployed hardware.

Connected themes

Recovering structure from limited measurements

Graph recovery estimates electrical network parameters. Charging curve clustering and energy disaggregation recover useful structure from observed behavior and aggregate meter readings.

Open directions

Prediction quality as a decision resource

Which prediction errors actually matter for the decision being made?

Move from a single forecast accuracy score to guarantees that reflect the prediction, the task, and the affected transitions. This suggests adaptive confidence allocation across sources, horizons, and latent disturbances.

Coordinated low carbon infrastructure

Can distributed energy and water resources adapt together under changing conditions?

Combine local feasibility summaries with distributed predictive control and contextual energy models. Open questions include communication limits, distribution shift, and guarantees across coupled physical networks.
