• Abstract summary: Clifford Group Equivariant Neural Networks (CGENNs) leverage Clifford algebras and multivectors to ensure symmetry constraints in neural representations. Previous works have restricted internal network representations to Euclidean or Minkowski (pseudo-)metrics, handpicked depending on the problem at hand. We propose an alternative method that enables the metric to be learned in a data-driven fashion, allowing the CGENN network to learn more flexible representations.

• Abstract: Clifford Group Equivariant Neural Networks (CGENNs) leverage Clifford algebras and multivectors as an alternative approach to incorporating group equivariance to ensure symmetry constraints in neural representations. In principle, this formulation generalizes to orthogonal groups and preserves equivariance regardless of the metric signature. However, previous works have restricted internal network representations to Euclidean or Minkowski (pseudo-)metrics, handpicked depending on the problem at hand. In this work, we propose an alternative method that enables the metric to be learned in a data-driven fashion, allowing the CGENN network to learn more flexible representations. Specifically, we populate metric matrices fully, ensuring they are symmetric by construction, and leverage eigenvalue decomposition to integrate this additional learnable component into the original CGENN formulation in a principled manner. Additionally, we motivate our method using insights from category theory, which enables us to explain Clifford algebras as a categorical construction and guarantee the mathematical soundness of our approach. We validate our method in various tasks and showcase the advantages of learning more flexible latent metric representations.

  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.

  We provide a unifying theoretical and methodological framework for incorporating symmetry into machine learning models. We show that enforcing and discovering symmetry are linear-algebraic tasks that are dual with respect to the bilinear structure of the Lie derivative. We propose a novel way to promote symmetry by introducing a class of convex regularization functions based on the Lie derivative and nuclear norm relaxation.
