A Structural Approach to the Design of Domain Specific Neural Network Architectures

Abstract

This is a master's thesis concerning the theoretical ideas of geometric deep learning. Geometric deep learning aims to provide a structured characterization of neural network architectures, specifically focused on the ideas of invariance and equivariance of data with respect to given transformations. This thesis aims to provide a theoretical evaluation of geometric deep learning, compiling theoretical results that characterize the properties of invariant neural networks with respect to learning performance.
