Geometric Deep Learning: The Erlangen Programme of ML - ICLR 2021 Keynote by Michael Bronstein (Imperial College London / IDSIA / Twitter)

“Symmetry, as wide or as narrow as you may define its meaning, is one idea by which man through the ages has tried to comprehend and create order, beauty, and perfection.” This poetic definition comes from the great mathematician Hermann Weyl, credited with laying the foundation of our modern theory of the universe. Another great physicist, Philip Anderson, said that "it is only slightly overstating the case to say that physics is the study of symmetry."

In mathematics, symmetry was crucial in the foundation of geometry as we know it in the 19th century. Now it could have a similar impact on another emerging field. Deep Learning success in recent decades is significant – from revolutionising data science to landmark achievements in computer vision, board games, and protein folding. At the same time, a lack of unifying principles makes it is difficult to understand the relations between different neural network architectures resulting in the reinvention and re-branding of the same concepts.

Michael Bronstein is a professor at Imperial College London and Head of Graph ML Research at Twitter, who is working to bring geometric unification of deep learning through the lens of symmetry. In his ICLR 2021 keynote lecture, he presents a common mathematical framework to study the most successful network architectures, giving a constructive procedure to build future machine learning in a principled way that could be applied in new domains such as social science, biology, and drug design.

This approach to Geometric Neural Nets is like a potential Nobel prize winning grand unification theory (GUT) unifying all the neural net architectures from ANN, CNN, RNN, Graph-NN, Message Passing (MP-NNs) neural nets and Transformers (Attention Neural Nets). Wonderful video !! Just like M-Theory when there is too much innovation accumulating over time, a simplifier needs to be born who can merge and unify all of them into a single more general purpose abstraction.

As a computer science student now preparing for his ML course exam. I was just blown away by how all machine learning algorithms are related. Beautiful, stunning work.

Presentation mastery! You managed to boil things down to the most salient intuitions, all the while covering such a wide breadth of topics! This has me amped to dive into your papers (im in fmri neuroscience, where graph-based predictive modelling has been mostly ineffectual thusfar)

Incredible, really enjoyed this keynote. Agree, one of the best presentations on ML I’ve seen yet. I’m really happy to see the emphasis on clarity to a general audience with such well-crafted illustrations of concepts.

Geometric Deep Learning Grids, Groups, Graphs, Geodesics, and Gauges is of great importance for my master's degree. Great presentation, is an honor.

I was amazed by your presentation, good job. But what amazed me was that I was able to understand in detail everything you explained. 35 years ago I studied physics and mathematics and learned all aspects of what you told in this video without ever realizing it could be applied to AI as well. Like you I was confused about the why of convolution, thanks for giving me the light !

i was in awe to see how underlying maths unifies DL techniques. Daresay community NEEDS a similar but in-depth deconstruction of particular topics. There are a lot of knowledgeable people in the comments, someone please make it happen <3

Wow. Just. Wow.
The quality of this presentation is incredible. The animations enabled me to grasp concepts (almost) instantly. So incredibly helpful for my current paper. Thank you ever so much for the money, time, and effort it took to produce a video of such exceptional quality.

I wish I could understand all the details, but my education only takes me so far understanding the concepts you're going over. I am a newbie ML enthusiast. I really do appreciate the animation, it is nice to follow it.
