A new research paper explores the trade-offs of using equivariant neural networks, which are designed to leverage data symmetries. The study, focusing on 2-layer ReLU networks, demonstrates that enforcing these symmetry constraints can limit the network's expressive power. Researchers found that this limitation can be overcome by increasing the model's size, and surprisingly, larger architectures with compensated equivariance exhibit reduced hypothesis space dimensionality, potentially leading to better generalization.
