Suhas Lohit presents invited talk at Boston Symmetry Day 2025 MERL researcher Suhas Lohit was an invited speaker at Boston Symmetry Day, held at Northeastern University. Boston Symmetry Day, an annual workshop organized by researchers at MIT and Northeastern, brought together attendees interested in symmetry-informed machine learning and its applications. Suhas' talk, titled “Efficiency for Equivariance, and Efficiency through Equivariance” discussed recent MERL works that show how to build general and efficient equivariant neural networks, and how equivariance can be utilized in self-supervised learning to yield improved 3D object detection. The abstract and slides can be found in the link below. Read more: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/e3FTdBwD #merl #mitsubishielectricresearchlabs #merlresearch #machinelearning
