Categorification of Group Equivariant Neural Networks

2023-04-27 · Edward Pearce-Crump

We present a novel application of category theory for deep learning. We show how category theory can be used to understand and work with the linear layer functions of group equivariant neural networks whose layers are some tensor power space of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ for the groups $S_n$, $O(n)$, $Sp(n)$, and $SO(n)$. By using category theoretic constructions, we build a richer structure that is not seen in the original formulation of these neural networks, leading to new insights. In particular, we outline the development of an algorithm for quickly computing the result of a vector that is passed through an equivariant, linear layer for each group in question. The success of our approach suggests that category theory could be beneficial for other areas of deep learning.

Any-Subgroup Equivariant Networks via Symmetry Breaking

2026-03-19 · Abhinav Goel, Derek Lim, Hannah Lawrence, Stefanie Jegelka 외 arxiv

The inclusion of symmetries as an inductive bias, known as equivariance, often improves generalization on geometric data (e.g. grids, sets, and graphs). However, equivariant architectures are usually highly constrained, …

We introduce Lie groupoid equivariant neural networks as a specialization of recently proposed topological category-equivariant neural networks to the differentiable setting. Lie groupoid equivariant neural networks are …

Categorical Equivariant Deep Learning: Category-Equivariant Neural Networks and Universal Approximation Theorems

2025-11-23 · Yoshihiro Maruyama arxiv

We develop a theory of category-equivariant neural networks (CENNs) that unifies group/groupoid-equivariant networks, poset/lattice-equivariant networks, graph and sheaf neural networks. Equivariance is formulated as nat…

Big data comparison of quantum invariants
