Building Transformation Layers for Riemannian Neural Networks
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.35436v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recently, deep neural networks on manifold-valued representations have garnered significant attention across various machine learning applications. One recent focus is the generalization of Euclidean fully connected (FC) and convolutional layers to non-Euclidean geometries. However, previous approaches typically focus on a few selected manifolds and rely on specific properties of the target manifold. In contrast, this work proposes a framework for constructing FC and convolutional layers over computationally tractable Riemannian spaces. This
