Theoretical Aspects of Lie Groupoid and Lie Algebroid Equivariant Convolutional Neural Networks
arXiv:2606.02758v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Lie groupoid equivariant neural networks as a specialization of recently proposed topological category-equivariant neural networks to the differentiable setting.

We additionally describe groupoid invariant global pooling as a generalization of group invariant global pooling. Furthermore, w
