Colloquium: Tuesday Feb 13, 2024. Speaker: Nadav Dym (Technion). Title: “Approximation and Separation Results for Group Equivariant Machine Learning”.

In many machine learning tasks, the goal is to learn an unknown function which has some known group symmetries. Equivariant machine learning algorithms exploits this by devising architectures (=function spaces) which have these symmetries by construction. Examples include convolutional neural…
