An Erlangen Programme to Establish the Geometric Foundations of Deep Learning (syncedreview.com)

This has nothing in common with Erlang Programming Language, it's about "method of characterizing geometries based on group theory and projective geometry." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlangen_program


(The method is named after Erlangen, the city in Germany.)


Direct link to 156pp paper (an absolutely elegant read):

Geometric Deep Learning: Grids, Groups, Graphs, Geodesics, and Gauges

Wow, that paper is 45 MB. I read the article and I now looking at the paper, trying to decide whether to spend a day really absorbing it. I assume that you are recommending it. I really like the typography, use of margin text and math notation, etc.


Here is also a talk about this topic, that Petar Veličković gave virtually at the University Erlangen a few weeks ago (and why it is called Erlangen Programme)
