arXiv:2410.23212v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In graph-based data analysis, $k$-nearest neighbor ($k$NN) graphs are widely used due to their adaptivity to local data densities. Allowing weighted edges in the graph, the kernelized graph affinity provides a more general type of $k$NN graph where the $k$NN distance is used to set the kernel bandwidth adaptively. In this work, we consider a general class of $k$NN graph where the graph affinity is $W_{ij} = \epsilon^{-d/2} k_0 ( \| x_i - x_j \|^2 / \epsilon \phi( \hat \rho(x_i), \hat \rho(x_j) )^2 ) $, with $\hat{\rho}(x)$ being the (re
