Beyond Structural Symmetries: Linear Mode Connectivity via Neuron Identifiability

Vincent Bürgin, Daniel Herbst, Ya-Wei Eileen Lin +1

Many striking phenomena in deep learning, such as linear mode connectivity and the structured behavior of training dynamics, are closely tied to parameter symmetries: transformatio…

Any-Subgroup Equivariant Networks via Symmetry Breaking

Abhinav Goel, Derek Lim, Hannah Lawrence +2

The inclusion of symmetries as an inductive bias, known as equivariance, often improves generalization on geometric data (e.g. grids, sets, and graphs). However, equivariant archit…

Learning to Approximate Uniform Facility Location via Graph Neural Networks

Chendi Qian, Christopher Morris, Stefanie Jegelka +1

Neural networks, particularly message-passing neural networks (MPNNs), are increasingly used as heuristics for hard combinatorial optimization problems. Yet many learning-based met…

Neural Networks With Dense Weights Are Not Universal Approximators

Levi Rauchwerger, Stefanie Jegelka, Ron Levie

We investigate the approximation capabilities of dense neural networks. While universal approximation theorems establish that sufficiently large architectures can approximate arbit…

Survey on Generalization Theory for Graph Neural Networks

Antonis Vasileiou, Stefanie Jegelka, Ron Levie +1

Message-passing graph neural networks (MPNNs) have emerged as the leading approach for machine learning on graphs, attracting significant attention in recent years. While a large s…

Generalization, Expressivity, and Universality of Graph Neural Networks on Attributed Graphs

Levi Rauchwerger, Stefanie Jegelka, Ron Levie

We analyze the universality and generalization of graph neural networks (GNNs) on attributed graphs, i.e., with node attributes. To this end, we propose pseudometrics over the spac…

Learning on LoRAs: GL-Equivariant Processing of Low-Rank Weight Spaces for Large Finetuned Models

Theo Putterman, Derek Lim, Yoav Gelberg +2

Low-rank adaptations (LoRAs) have revolutionized the finetuning of large foundation models, enabling efficient adaptation even with limited computational resources. The resulting p…

The Empirical Impact of Neural Parameter Symmetries, or Lack Thereof

Derek Lim, Theo Moe Putterman, Robin Walters +2

Many algorithms and observed phenomena in deep learning appear to be affected by parameter symmetries -- transformations of neural network parameters that do not change the underly…
