Group-Equivariant Poincaré Convolutional Networks

Aiden Durrant, Rahul Baburajan, Georgios Leontidis

While recent advancements like the Poincaré ResNet have demonstrated the potential of learning visual representations directly in hyperbolic space, their optimisation remains hampered by the computationally intensive nature of Riemannian gradients and the strict boundaries of the manifold. Furthermore, standard hyperbolic networks treat spatial transformations of the same object as distinct hierarchical concepts, leading to redundant parameter usage and vanishing signals. We propose Equivariant Poincaré ResNets, combining hyperbolic geometry with discrete symmetry groups ($C_4$ and $D_4$). We identify critical roadblocks in applying Euclidean equivariance to hyperbolic space and propose geometrically safe tensor reshaping, left-regular permutations for hyperbolic group convolutions, and joint-orientation Poincaré Midpoint Batch normalisation. Empirically, embedding equivariance drastically reduces the optimisation space, accelerating convergence while accelerating convergence while respecting the boundary constraints of the Poincaré ball and preserving spatial-group equivariance.

A Coherence Law for Trainability in Noisy Equivariant Quantum Neural Networks

Hassan Ugail, Newton Howard

Symmetry provides a quantum neural network structure, but on its own it does not keep the network trainable once noise is present. We ask which physical quantity decides whether the gradients of an equivariant circuit survive decoherence, and we answer with a compact training law…
