Transform-Domain Quantized Edge Attention

Compress a trained graph-attention model's edge-dependent logits or gates in the line-graph Fourier domain. Smooth edge values become concentrated in low-frequency coefficients, allowing low-frequency coefficients to retain more precision while high-frequency residuals use fewer bits or are discarded.

Signed-triangle Nyström lookahead

Replace one-step greedy landmark selection in Nyström attention or kernel compression with a restricted pairwise-lookahead rule. The lookahead is motivated by the paper's explicit obstruction: a signed triangle can make individual column gains exhibit increasing rather than diminishing returns, so the best next column need not belong to the best pair.
