Learning Invariant Weights in Neural Networks
Assumptions about invariances or symmetries in data can significantly increase the predictive power of statistical models. Many commonly used models in machine learning are constraint to respect certain symmetries in the data, such as translation equivariance in convolutional neural networks, and incorporation of new symmetry types is actively being studied. Yet, efforts to learn such invariances from the data itself remains an open research problem. It has been shown that marginal likelihood offers a principled way to learn invariances in Gaussian Processes. We propose a weight-space equivalent to this approach, by minimizing a lower bound on the marginal likelihood to learn invariances in neural networks resulting in naturally higher performing models.

Naturally Combined Shape-Color Moment Invariants under Affine Transformations
We proposed a kind of naturally combined shape-color affine moment invariants (SCAMI), which consider both shape and color affine transformations simultaneously in one single system. In the real scene, color and shape de…
Harmonics of Learning: Universal Fourier Features Emerge in Invariant Networks
In this work, we formally prove that, under certain conditions, if a neural network is invariant to a finite group then its weights recover the Fourier transform on that group. This provides a mathematical explanation fo…

This work examines the deep disconnect between existing theoretical analyses of gradient-based algorithms and the practice of training deep neural networks. Specifically, we provide numerical evidence that in large-scale…
FWLBP: A Scale Invariant Descriptor for Texture Classification
In this paper we propose a novel texture descriptor called Fractal Weighted Local Binary Pattern (FWLBP). The fractal dimension (FD) measure is relatively invariant to scale-changes, and presents a good correlation with …
