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,…

In convolutional neural networks, the convolutions are conventionally performed using a square kernel with a fixed N $\times$ N receptive field (RF). However, what matters most to the network is the effective receptive field (ERF) that…
