• Abstract: In this work, we introduce the Equivariance Seeker Model (ESM), a data-driven method for discovering the underlying finite equivariant symmetry group of an arbitrary function. ESM achieves this by optimizing a loss function that balances equivariance preservation with the penalization of redundant solutions, ensuring the complete and accurate identification of all symmetry transformations. We apply this framework specifically to dynamical systems, identifying their symmetry groups directly from observed trajectory data. To demonstrate its versatility, we test ESM on multiple systems in two distinct scenarios: (i) when the governing equations are known theoretically and (ii) when they are unknown, and the equivariance finding relies solely on observed data. The latter case highlights ESM's fully data-driven capability, as it requires no prior knowledge of the system's equations to operate.

• Learning symmetries in datasets [0.0]
  We investigate how symmetries present in datasets affect the structure of the latent space learned by Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) We show that when symmetries or approximate symmetries are present, the VAE self-organizes its latent space, effectively compressing the data along a reduced number of latent variables. Our results highlight the potential of unsupervised generative models to expose underlying structures in data and offer a novel approach to symmetry discovery without explicit supervision.

• SymmetryLens: A new candidate paradigm for unsupervised symmetry learning via locality and equivariance [0.0]
  We develop a new, unsupervised symmetry learning method that starts with raw data. We demonstrate that this coupling between symmetry and locality, together with a special optimization technique developed for entropy estimation, results in a highly stable system. The symmetry actions we consider are group representations, however, we believe the approach has the potential to be generalized to more general, nonlinear actions of non-commutative Lie groups.

  Group equivariance can overly constrain models if the symmetries in the group differ from those observed in data. We propose a method able to detect the level of symmetry of each input without the need for labels. Our framework is general enough to accommodate different families of both continuous and discrete symmetry distributions.

The two new elements in this work are the use of a reduced-dimensionality latent space and the generalization to transformations invariant with respect to high-dimensional oracles.
