• Abstract: Parameter-space and function-space provide two different duality frames in which to study neural networks. We demonstrate that symmetries of network densities may be determined via dual computations of network correlation functions, even when the density is unknown and the network is not equivariant. Symmetry-via-duality relies on invariance properties of the correlation functions, which stem from the choice of network parameter distributions. Input and output symmetries of neural network densities are determined, which recover known Gaussian process results in the infinite width limit. The mechanism may also be utilized to determine symmetries during training, when parameters are correlated, as well as symmetries of the Neural Tangent Kernel. We demonstrate that the amount of symmetry in the initialization density affects the accuracy of networks trained on Fashion-MNIST, and that symmetry breaking helps only when it is in the direction of ground truth.

  Equivariant neural networks incorporate symmetries into their architecture, achieving higher generalization performance. We propose LieSD, a method for discovering symmetries via trained neural networks which approximate the input-output mappings of the tasks. We validate the performance of LieSD on tasks with symmetries such as the two-body problem, the moment of inertia matrix prediction, and top quark tagging.

• Lie Point Symmetry and Physics Informed Networks [59.56218517113066]
  We propose a loss function that informs the network about Lie point symmetries in the same way that PINN models try to enforce the underlying PDE through a loss function. Our symmetry loss ensures that the infinitesimal generators of the Lie group conserve the PDE solutions. Empirical evaluations indicate that the inductive bias introduced by the Lie point symmetries of the PDEs greatly boosts the sample efficiency of PINNs.

• Learning Layer-wise Equivariances Automatically using Gradients [66.81218780702125]
  Convolutions encode equivariance symmetries into neural networks leading to better generalisation performance. symmetries provide fixed hard constraints on the functions a network can represent, need to be specified in advance, and can not be adapted. Our goal is to allow flexible symmetry constraints that can automatically be learned from data using gradients.

• Hidden symmetries of ReLU networks [17.332539115959708]
  In some networks, the only symmetries are permutation of neurons in a layer and positive scaling of parameters at a neuron, while other networks admit additional hidden symmetries. In this work, we prove that, for any network architecture where no layer is narrower than the input, there exist parameter settings with no hidden symmetries.

• Encoding Involutory Invariance in Neural Networks [1.6371837018687636]
  In certain situations, Neural Networks (NN) are trained upon data that obey underlying physical symmetries. In this work, we explore a special kind of symmetry where functions are invariant with respect to involutory linear/affine transformations up to parity. Numerical experiments indicate that the proposed models outperform baseline networks while respecting the imposed symmetry. An adaption of our technique to convolutional NN classification tasks for datasets with inherent horizontal/vertical reflection symmetry has also been proposed.
