Approximately equivariant graph networks

N Huang, R Levie, S Villar - Advances in Neural …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Graph neural networks (GNNs) are commonly described as being permutation equivariant
with respect to node relabeling in the graph. This symmetry of GNNs is often compared to …

A pac-bayesian generalization bound for equivariant networks

A Behboodi, G Cesa, TS Cohen - Advances in Neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Equivariant networks capture the inductive bias about the symmetry of the learning task by
building those symmetries into the model. In this paper, we study how equivariance relates …

On the non-universality of deep learning: quantifying the cost of symmetry

E Abbe, E Boix-Adsera - Advances in Neural Information …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We prove limitations on what neural networks trained by noisy gradient descent (GD) can
efficiently learn. Our results apply whenever GD training is equivariant, which holds for many …

A theory of pac learnability under transformation invariances

H Shao, O Montasser, A Blum - Advances in Neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Transformation invariances are present in many real-world problems. For example, image
classification is usually invariant to rotation and color transformation: a rotated car in a …

[HTML][HTML] VC dimensions of group convolutional neural networks

PC Petersen, A Sepliarskaia - Neural Networks, 2024 - Elsevier
We study the generalization capacity of group convolutional neural networks. We identify
