Identifiable Equivariant Networks are Layerwise Equivariant

ICML 2026poster

We investigate the relation between end-to-end equivariance and layerwise equivariance in deep neural networks. We prove the following: For a network whose end-to-end function is equivariant with respect to group actions on the input and output spaces, there is a parameter choice yielding the same e…

Learning on a Razor’s Edge: Identifiability and Singularity of Polynomial Neural Networks

ICLR 2026poster

We study function spaces parametrized by neural networks, referred to as neuromanifolds. Specifically, we focus on deep Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with an activation function that is a sufficiently generic polynomial. First, we address the identifiability…

On the Geometry and Optimization of Polynomial Convolutional Networks

AISTATS 2025poster

We study convolutional neural networks with monomial activation functions. Specifically, we prove that their parameterization map is regular and is an isomorphism almost everywhere, up to rescaling the filters. By leveraging on tools from algebraic geometry, we explore the geometric properties of th…

Position: Algebra Unveils Deep Learning - An Invitation to Neuroalgebraic Geometry

ICML 2025spotlight

In this position paper, we promote the study of function spaces parameterized by machine learning models through the lens of algebraic geometry. To this end, we focus on algebraic models, such as neural networks with polynomial activations, whose associated function spaces are semi-algebraic varieti…
