Comparison of standard 3D CNN versus 3D Steerable CNN for handling rotational symmetry

3D Steerable CNNs: Rotationally Equivariant Features

Weiler et al.’s NeurIPS 2018 paper introducing 3D Steerable CNNs that achieve SE(3) equivariance through group representation theory and spherical harmonic convolution kernels, eliminating the need for rotational data augmentation and improving data efficiency for scientific applications with rotational symmetry like molecular and protein structures.
