提出统一框架，让神经网络在带边界的流形上保持几何约束

A growing number of neural architectures have been proposed to enforce geometric constraints, including projection-based networks, exponential-map updates, constrained output layers, and manifold neural ODEs. We provide a unified framework for these geometry-preserving architectures by organizing them according to where and how constraints are enforced, either throughout the intermediate layers or only at the final output. This perspective reveals several gaps in the existing theory. To address these gaps, we prove high-level approximation theorems for projected neural ODEs, intermediate augmented architectures, and final augmented architectures on prox-regular constraint sets, including smooth manifolds with boundary. Numerical experiments on synthetic dynamics over S^2, the disk, SO(3), together with real-world protein backbone data on SE(3), demonstrate exact feasibility for analytic updates and show that the final augmentation have simpler architecture and outperform in most tasks considered. When the constraint set is unknown, we learn projections via small-time heat-kernel limits, showing diffusion/flow-matching can be used as data-based projections. Moreover, we also the demonstrate the usefulness of the architectures that enforce non-convex constraints for path planning on manifolds with boundary.
