In this paper, we develop a theory about the relationship between Ginvariant/equivariant functions and deep neural networks for finite group G. Especially, for a given G-invariant/equivariant function, we construct its universal approximator by deep neural network whose layers equip G-actions and each affine transformations are G-equivariant/invariant. Due to representation theory, we can show that this approximator has exponentially fewer free parameters than usual models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
