Apropos of some random discussions today: Equivariant graph NNs are now a common formalism. But I would like to point that this was one of the first papers (if not the first) arxiv.org/abs/1801.02144 to formulate it thus. Basically, no one seems to know it, however. :))

🧵 Our geometric GRaM Workshop at ICML 2024 workshop has released the accepted blog posts and tutorials! Theory can be hard to digest, and educational materials are scarce. We are impressed by the students' work! gram-blogposts.github.io Some of my favorites ⬇️

Get ready for some great proGRaMming on representation geometry, generative models, and beyond at the GRaM workshop! Happening on Schubert 1 - 3, on the upper level of the conference center. Accepted papers: icml.cc/virtual/2024/w… Schedule: gram-workshop.github.io/schedule.html

The GRaM (Geometry-grounded Representation Learning and Generative Modeling) workshop at #ICML2024 is kicking off now with opening remarks! Ready to explore groundbreaking with our amazing speakers, panelists and poster presenters! 🌟

Seems like #ICML2024 understimated people's interested in geometric deep learning. So we had to make the GRaM Workshop at ICML 2024 workshop overflow in the corridors to manage the great turnaround! 🙌🏾

What a terrific first session of the GRaM Workshop at ICML 2024 workshop ICML Conference ! The speakers, posters, and organization have been awesome and there’s more to come! Please join us to kick off the afternoon session with an engaging panel at 2:00pm! Sharvaree Vadgama Hannah Lawrence Erik Bekkers

The #GRaM panel discussion on scale vs geometric modeling has begun! Great to have Rianne van den Berg , Joey Bose , Phillip Isola , Zahra Kadkhodaie , and Max Welling weighing in on this timely topic, moderated by Erik Bekkers

GRaM Workshop at ICML 2024 was definitely the highlight of ICML for me! Thank you Sharvaree Vadgama ✈️ @ICML 2025 Oumar Kaba Hannah Lawrence Erik Bekkers for the great organization 🤗

Can't wait to see familiar faces + chat about all the new ideas the Boston equivariance community has been cooking up!

Join us for an exciting opportunity to experience the operations and elements of the Boston symmetry group!

Excited for our fall poster session and social tomorrow at MIT! Details: The poster session will be held from 4:30 to 6pm on the first floor of MIT's Stata Center, followed by a group walk over to a nearby bar/restaurant. See you there!

Save the date -- Boston Symmetry Day 2025 will be held on March 31st, at Northeastern University! Speakers and sponsors to be announced in the coming weeks, but you can expect another great lineup of talks, networking, and posters. We'll see you there!

Registration is now open for Boston Symmetry Day on March 31! Sign up by March 21st at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… We have an exciting lineup of speakers (see our website: bostonsymmetry.github.io )  Also featuring a poster session so you have a chance to present your awesome work!

Join us at Northeastern on March 31st for a great day of speakers, posters, and networking with the Boston-area equivariant learning community! (Plus: there will be free food!)

Boston Symmetry Day is happening TODAY at Northeastern University’s Columbus Place and Alumni Center (716 Columbus Ave, 6th floor)! Breakfast starts at 9 AM, but talks are happening throughout the day, followed by a social. We’ll see you there!

Happy to have presented this work with Hannah Lawrence @ PetExpo Vasco Portilheiro and Yan! Thanks to those who came! Check out the paper to learn about the link between symmetry breaking, equivariant distributions and positional encodings (+experiments on Ising models) arxiv.org/abs/2503.21985
