A Feedforward Unitary Equivariant Neural Network

Machine Learning 2022-08-26 v1

Abstract

We devise a new type of feedforward neural network. It is equivariant with respect to the unitary group U(n)U(n). The input and output can be vectors in Cn\mathbb{C}^n with arbitrary dimension nn. No convolution layer is required in our implementation. We avoid errors due to truncated higher order terms in Fourier-like transformation. The implementation of each layer can be done efficiently using simple calculations. As a proof of concept, we have given empirical results on the prediction of the dynamics of atomic motion to demonstrate the practicality of our approach.
