We devise a new type of feedforward neural network. It is equivariant with respect to the unitary group $U(n)$. The input and output can be vectors in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with arbitrary dimension $n$. No convolution layer is required in our…

Equivariant network architectures are a well-established tool for predicting invariant or equivariant quantities. However, almost all learning problems considered in this context feature a global symmetry, i.e. each point of the underlying…

Symmetry learning has proven to be an effective approach for extracting the hidden structure of data, with the concept of equivariance relation playing the central role. However, most of the current studies are built on architectural theory…

Image restoration is an inherently ill posed inverse problem. Equivariant networks that embed geometric symmetry priors can mitigate this ill posedness and improve performance. However, current understanding of the relationship between…

Equivariance has gained strong interest as a desirable network property that inherently ensures robust generalization. However, when dealing with complex systems such as articulated objects or multi-object scenes, effectively capturing…

Deep learning on point clouds has made a lot of progress recently. Many point cloud dedicated deep learning frameworks, such as PointNet and PointNet++, have shown advantages in accuracy and speed comparing to those using traditional 3D…

Incorporating permutation equivariance into neural networks has proven to be useful in ensuring that models respect symmetries that exist in data. Symmetric tensors, which naturally appear in statistics, machine learning, and graph theory,…

Convolutional neural networks have been extremely successful in the image recognition domain because they ensure equivariance to translations. There have been many recent attempts to generalize this framework to other domains, including…

In this work we propose a new neural network architecture that efficiently implements and learns general purpose set-equivariant functions. Such a function f maps a set of entities x = {x1, . . . , xn} from one domain to a set of same…

In this draft paper, we introduce a novel architecture for graph networks which is equivariant to the Euclidean group in $n$-dimensions. The model is designed to work with graph networks in their general form and can be shown to include…

Convolutional networks are successful, but they have recently been outperformed by new neural networks that are equivariant under rotations and translations. These new networks work better because they do not struggle with learning each…

Despite the successes of deep learning in computer vision, difficulties persist in recognizing objects that have undergone group-symmetric transformations rarely seen during training$\unicode{x2013}$for example objects seen in unusual…

Wavelet scattering networks, which are convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with fixed filters and weights, are promising tools for image analysis. Imposing symmetry on image statistics can improve human interpretability, aid in…

We propose a method for 3D shape reconstruction from unoriented point clouds. Our method consists of a novel SE(3)-equivariant coordinate-based network (TF-ONet), that parametrizes the occupancy field of the shape and respects the inherent…

This work is about understanding the impact of invariance and equivariance on generalisation in supervised learning. We use the perspective afforded by an averaging operator to show that for any predictor that is not equivariant, there is…

In this paper we present a framework for the design and implementation of offset equivariant networks, that is, neural networks that preserve in their output uniform increments in the input. In a suitable color space this kind of networks…

This paper presents a novel framework for non-linear equivariant neural network layers on homogeneous spaces. The seminal work of Cohen et al. on equivariant $G$-CNNs on homogeneous spaces characterized the representation theory of such…

Although equivariant machine learning has proven effective at many tasks, success depends heavily on the assumption that the ground truth function is symmetric over the entire domain matching the symmetry in an equivariant neural network. A…

Three dimensional (3D) object recognition is becoming a key desired capability for many computer vision systems such as autonomous vehicles, service robots and surveillance drones to operate more effectively in unstructured environments.…

We investigate the optimization of neural networks on symmetric data, and compare the strategy of constraining the architecture to be equivariant to that of using data augmentation. Our analysis reveals that that the relative geometry of…
