New methods enforce symmetries on ML models for physics

Researchers have explored methods to enforce symmetries on pre-trained machine learning models, particularly for physics applications. For finite and compact groups, post-hoc group averaging using the Reynolds operator can project predictors onto invariant or equivariant functions, offering known risk guarantees. The study extends this to non-compact groups, proposing alternatives like the Weyl unitary trick, data-dependent orthogonal projection, and frame averaging. While orthogonal projection showed promise, especially out-of-distribution, direct training of symmetric models often matched or surpassed these post-hoc methods. AI
