The funny part is that Group theory is heavily integrated with the mathematics of neural networks. So much so that some mathematicians say that finding the invariants of groups is what makes NNs work.

"The key idea behind our results is that if we can find the symmetries of a problem then we can solve it"

wat? I've worked in neural nets for 30 years and I've never needed group theory. just linear algebra, multivariate calculus, number theory.

I appreciate that symmetries are great but that doesn't solve a problem.
