PyTorch library escnn is widely used across various domains.
Research Experience
Research Focus: Designing Equivariant Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which are geometry-aware neural networks constrained to commute with geometric transformations of feature vector fields. During his PhD, he developed a general representation theoretic formulation of equivariant CNNs, applicable to a wide range of spaces, symmetry groups, and group actions. Additionally, he explored the generalization of CNNs to Riemannian manifolds, leading to a gauge field theory framework.
