Encoding Involutory Invariances in Neural Networks
IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Network (IJCNN)(2022)
摘要
In certain situations, neural networks are trained upon data that obey underlying symmetries. However, the predictions do not respect the symmetries exactly unless embedded in the network structure. In this work, we introduce architectures that embed a special kind of symmetry namely, invariance with respect to involutory linear/affine transformations up to parity p = +/- 1. We provide rigorous theorems to show that the proposed network ensures such an invariance and present qualitative arguments for a special universal approximation theorem. An adaption of our techniques to CNN tasks for datasets with inherent horizontal/vertical reflection symmetry is demonstrated. Extensive experiments indicate that the proposed model outperforms baseline feed-forward and physics-informed neural networks while identically respecting the underlying symmetry.
