May 2024 Clifford-Steerable CNNs was accepted to ICML 2024! See you all in Vienna!
Feb 2024 Together with David Ruhe, Maurice Weiler and others, we have developed Clifford-Steerable CNNs - a new class of isometry-equivariant CNNs that are able to operate on pseudo-Euclidean spaces, such as Euclidean space and Minkowski spacetime. Really strong results on PDEs, new relativistic benchmark and lots of very cool math. The paper is available here.
Sep 2023 Our paper Implicit Convolutional Kernels for Steerable CNNs has been accepted to NeurIPS 2023! We developed a simple and efficient way to parameterize group equivariant convolutional kernels using implicit neural representation, which greatly simplifies the design of steerable CNNs. Check out the blog post for details.
