Twisted Convolutional Networks (TCNs) are introduced as a novel neural network architecture designed to effectively process one-dimensional data with arbitrary feature order and minimal spatial relationships. Unlike traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which excel at handling structured two-dimensional data like images, TCNs reduce dependency on feature order by combining input features in innovative ways to create new representations. By explicitly enhancing feature interactions and employing diverse feature combinations, TCNs generate richer and more informative representations, making them especially effective for classification tasks on datasets with arbitrary feature arrangements. TCNs achieve superior performance compared to traditional CNNs, DeepSets, Transformers, and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) in classification scenarios involving one-dimensional data. The paper provides a comprehensive comparison of these models and demonstrates the effectiveness of TCNs through extensive experiments on benchmark datasets.

Twisted Convolutional Networks are a new way for computers to understand one-dimensional data like lists or numbers. They work better than other networks when the order of the data doesn’t matter, but it’s still important which items are next to each other. This paper explains how TCNs do this and compares them to other popular computer vision models.
