Geometric and structure-aware learning

Developing graph neural networks and representations informed by symmetry and relational structure.

Overview

We develop graph neural networks and equivariant representations that incorporate geometric and relational structure. We analyze how choices of symmetry, invariance, and graph connectivity affect model expressivity, robustness, and generalization.

Research topics

  • Graph representations and message passing
  • Equivariance and constrained optimization
  • Robustness and interpretability of structured models

Recent methods include learning approximate equivariance through constrained optimization and adapting graph connectivity to capture long-range dependencies.
