GraM-Diff: A Unified Graph-Mamba Diffusion Framework for EEG-Based Alzheimer's Disease Data Generation and Diagnosis

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a promising, non-invasive, and cost-effective modality for Alzheimer's disease (AD) detection, but deep learning methods are limited by small and imbalanced clinical datasets. Generative augmentation offers a solution, yet existing approaches rely on inefficient class-specific models or fail to capture complex spatial and temporal brain dynamics. To address this, we propose GraM-Diff, a unified classifier-guided Graph-Mamba diffusion framework for EEG synthesis. It embeds Graph Convolutional Networks within a diffusion U-Net to model inter-electrode connectivity and Bidirectional Mamba state-space blocks for linear-complexity long-range temporal modeling. Latent-space classifier guidance lets a single model generate both healthy and pathological EEG within a shared representation, avoiding fragmented per-cohort pipelines. Across four EEG-based AD benchmarks, synthetic augmentation improves classification, yields superior Context-FID and correlation scores over strong generative baselines, and enhances robustness in data-scarce settings.

ECA-BLS: An Efficient Complex-Augmented Broad Learning System

Broad Learning System (BLS) is an efficient alternative to deep architectures due to its fast training, analytical learning, and strong generalization under limited data. However, existing BLS variants are confined to real-valued representations, restricting their ability to capture nonlinear interactions and second-order statistical dependencies inherent in real-world data. Notably, no prior BLS model fully exploits the complete second-order statistics that naturally emerge when data are embedded in the complex domain. To address this limitation, this paper introduces the first complex augmented Broad Learning System (CA-BLS), which transforms real-valued inputs into phase-encoded complex representations and adopts widely linear modeling to jointly leverage covariance and pseudo-covariance information via complex conjugate augmentation. This enables effective modeling of latent nonlinearities, coherence structures, and second-order dependencies inaccessible to conventional BLS formulations. To mitigate the additional computational cost of complex augmentation, an Efficient Complex Augmented BLS (ECA-BLS) is further developed, reformulating CA-BLS entirely in the real domain while preserving its exact decision function, achieving up to 75\% fewer multiplications and over 60\% fewer additions. A rigorous theoretical analysis proves the mathematical equivalence between CA-BLS and ECA-BLS, ensuring zero theoretical loss. Extensive experiments on 26 benchmark datasets from the UCI and KEEL repositories demonstrate that ECA-BLS consistently outperforms classical BLS and recent state-of-the-art randomized neural networks in accuracy, average rank, and statistical significance, establishing augmented second-order modeling as a critical and previously missing dimension of BLS research.

Robust Broad Learning System with Wave Loss for Classification under Data Uncertainty

Broad Learning System (BLS) offers an efficient alternative to deep architectures by enabling fast learning through randomized feature mapping and closed-form solutions. However, its reliance on squared error loss makes it highly sensitive to noise, outliers, and corrupted labels, limiting its reliability in real-world scenarios. To address this limitation, we propose Wave-BLS, a robust broad learning framework that integrates the wave loss function, which is asymmetric, bounded, and smooth, enabling controlled penalization of large errors. The proposed formulation replaces the standard least-squares objective with a wave-loss-based optimization problem, solved efficiently using a Nesterov accelerated gradient (NAG)-based scheme without requiring matrix inversion, thereby improving scalability. Extensive experiments on 30 UCI benchmark datasets demonstrate that Wave-BLS consistently outperforms classical BLS and several robust variants. Statistical validation using Friedman and Nemenyi post-hoc tests confirms the significance of the observed improvements. Furthermore, robustness evaluations under controlled noise and outlier injection reveal that Wave-BLS exhibits substantially slower performance degradation compared to BLS, even in challenging contamination settings. These results establish Wave-BLS as a stable and robust alternative to existing broad learning models for learning under data uncertainty.
