- 适合处理图、3D形状等非规则数据的研究者参考
欧式深度学习在处理具有不规则曲面和复杂拓扑的现实信号时表现不足。理解特征空间的几何特性对于获得对非平凡几何变换鲁棒且紧凑的表示至关重要,而传统CNN无法有效应对。识别旋转、平移、排列或尺度对称性可使学习到的表示具备等变性,这一特性已在计算机视觉与机器学习任务中显著优于不变性方法。本报告强调对称群等变深度学习模型的重要性,通过群论与对称性实现图、3D形状及非欧空间上的类卷积操作。将此类模型分为正则、可旋转和偏微分方程驱动三类,并深入分析其输入空间与表示的内在对称性。还阐明了群卷积或消息聚合操作与等变性的数学关联。报告还梳理了多个数据集的应用范围、局限性及未来方向的洞见,为该新兴领域提供有价值的参考并激发进一步研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Euclidean deep learning is often inadequate for addressing real-world signals where the representation space is irregular and curved with complex topologies. Interpreting the geometric properties of such feature spaces has become paramount in obtaining robust and compact feature representations that remain unaffected by nontrivial geometric transformations, which vanilla CNNs cannot effectively handle. Recognizing rotation, translation, permutation, or scale symmetries can lead to equivariance properties in the learned representations. This has led to notable advancements in computer vision and machine learning tasks under the framework of geometric deep learning, as compared to their invariant counterparts. In this report, we emphasize the importance of symmetry group equivariant deep learning models and their realization of convolution-like operations on graphs, 3D shapes, and non-Euclidean spaces by leveraging group theory and symmetry. We categorize them as regular, steerable, and PDE-based convolutions and thoroughly examine the inherent symmetries of their input spaces and ensuing representations. We also outline the mathematical link between group convolutions or message aggregation operations and the concept of equivariance. The report also highlights various datasets, their application scopes, limitations, and insightful observations on future directions to serve as a valuable reference and stimulate further research in this emerging discipline.
