arXiv:2607. 04262v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Vision Transformer (ViT) for image classification exploit a dense grid of pixels containing redundant information.
Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) have significantly advanced dense feature matching, yet severe in-plane rotation remains a critical challenge. Existing solutions face a fundamental dilemma: data-driven methods require inefficient parameter scaling to implicitly learn rotations, whereas strictly equivariant networks lack the semantic capacity of modern VFMs.
arXiv:2505. 21736v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Translation equivariance is a central reason convolutional neural networks have been successful in computer vision.
arXiv:2510. 03511v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While widespread, Transformers lack inductive biases for geometric symmetries common in science and computer vision.
arXiv:2606. 14597v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformer-based neural operators have shown remarkable performance for approximating solution operators of partial differential equations on complex geometries.
Equivariant Neural Networks (ENNs) have empowered numerous applications in scientific fields. Despite their remarkable capacity for representing geometric structures, ENNs suffer from degraded expressivity when processing symmetric inputs: the output representations are invariant to transformations that extend beyond the input's symmetries.
