Geometric Deep Learning

Geometric deep learning (GDL) focuses on developing neural network architectures that can effectively process and learn from data with inherent geometric structures, such as graphs, meshes, and point clouds. Current research emphasizes the design of equivariant models, particularly graph neural networks (GNNs), which maintain consistent representations under geometric transformations like rotations and translations, and the development of efficient pooling operators to handle large datasets. These advancements are significantly impacting various fields, improving the accuracy and efficiency of tasks ranging from molecular simulations and material science to medical image analysis and computer-aided design.
