Abstract:We introduce steerable neural ordinary differential equations on homogeneous spaces $M=G/H$. These models constitute a novel geometric extension of manifold neural ordinary differential equations (NODEs) that transport associated feature vectors transforming under the local symmetry group $H$. We interpret features as sections of associated vector bundles over $M$, and describe their evolution as parallel transport. This results in a coupled system of ODEs consisting of a flow equation on $M$ and a steering equation acting on features. We show that steerable NODEs are $G$-equivariant whenever the vector field generating the flow and the connection governing parallel transport are both $G$-invariant. Furthermore, we demonstrate how steerable NODEs incorporate existing NODE models and continuous normalizing flows on Lie groups. Our framework provides the geometric foundation for learning continuous-time equivariant dynamics of general vector-valued features on homogeneous spaces.
