Spherical data is found in many applications. By modeling the discretized sphere as a graph, we can accommodate non-uniformly distributed, partial, and changing samplings. Moreover, graph convolutions are computationally more efficient than…

Group Convolutional Neural Networks (G-CNNs) constrain learned features to respect the symmetries in the selected group, and lead to better generalization when these symmetries appear in the data. If this is not the case, however,…

An important goal in visual recognition is to devise image representations that are invariant to particular transformations. In this paper, we address this goal with a new type of convolutional neural network (CNN) whose invariance is…

In this work we investigate how to achieve equivariance to input transformations in deep networks, purely from data, without being given a model of those transformations. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), for example, are equivariant to…

Omnidirectional images and spherical representations of $3D$ shapes cannot be processed with conventional 2D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as the unwrapping leads to large distortion. Using fast implementations of spherical and…

Spherical signals exist in many applications, e.g., planetary data, LiDAR scans and digitalization of 3D objects, calling for models that can process spherical data effectively. It does not perform well when simply projecting spherical data…

Many classes of images exhibit rotational symmetry. Convolutional neural networks are sometimes trained using data augmentation to exploit this, but they are still required to learn the rotation equivariance properties from the data.…

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art results on many visual recognition tasks. However, current CNN models still exhibit a poor ability to be invariant to spatial transformations of images. Intuitively, with…

The ability of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to recognize objects regardless of their position in the image is due to the translation-equivariance of the convolutional operation. Group-equivariant CNNs transfer this equivariance to…
