Now is an incredible time to work on neurotechnology, leveraging the inherent synergy between the brain's representations of the world & the rich sensory-semantic representations derived by large-scale artificial neural networks

While powerful, Group-Equivariant CNNs require knowing and building in the relevant groups by hand. In this paper, we present a method for *learning* the groups that structure the data by learning to collapse image orbits 5/17

@CimesaLjubica One thing I appreciate greatly is that they start from single-celled organisms that have no neurons at all. An individual cell exhibits an immense amount of intelligence & I think the field would do well to release our fixation on the brain as the locus of intelligent computation

This simple objective combined with mathematical constraints permits the model to learn the irreducible representations of the group. That is, the model learns to perform a Fourier transform on an unknown group. The result is a learned equivariant layer 6/17

The bispectrum, by contrast, is a *complete* invariant. This means that it only removes variations due to group actions on the domain, preserving all signal structure 11/17

As a consequence, Bispectral Neural Networks are both invariant and robust. We demonstrate this in experiments in which we attempt to generate model "metamers"—inputs that yield the same model representation but do not look the same 12/17

The structure of our model is remarkably simple: It's comprised of a single linear layer that parameterizes a Fourier transform on an unknown group, followed by a bispectral layer that computes invariant coefficients from the first. Note: the weights are random to start 14/17

Many operations are invariant. The max of an image is the same if the image is rotated. However, it's *also* the same if the pixels are randomly permuted. Most invariant maps are degenerate in this way—they lose signal structure & throw the baby out with the bathwater 🛁 10/17
