Group-Equivariant Poincar\'e Convolutional Networks

arXiv:2607. 00556v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While recent advancements like the Poincar\'e 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.

Simplifying Flow Matching Transformations with Low-Rank Mixture Models

Normalizing flows are powerful generative models that learn an invertible mapping between complex data distributions and simple latent distributions, typically a standard normal density. However, this choice of latent density can impose unnecessary complexity on the learned flow transformation due to the topological mismatch between the latent and data densities, leading to slower training and suboptimal performance.

Representation Learning for Equivariant Inference with Guarantees

arXiv:2505. 19809v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In many real-world applications of regression, conditional probability estimation, and uncertainty quantification, exploiting symmetries rooted in physics or geometry can dramatically improve generalization and sample efficiency.

Group-Equivariant Poincaré Convolutional Networks

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.

Modality Gap-Driven Subspace Alignment Training Paradigm For Multimodal Large Language Models

arXiv:2602. 07026v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite the success of multimodal contrastive learning in aligning visual and linguistic representations, a persistent geometric anomaly, the Modality Gap, remains: embeddings of distinct modalities expressing identical semantics occupy systematically offset regions.
