The proposed framework for geometric deep learning enforces spatial symmetries by introducing local reference frames, allowing it to be integrated with any architecture without restrictions. This approach is based on local canonicalization and enhances equivariant message passing by using tensorial messages that communicate geometric information consistently between different coordinate frames. The framework can be applied to message passing on geometric data in Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension. Specifically, the authors show how their approach can adapt a popular existing point cloud architecture to make it equivariant.

The paper presents a new way for deep learning models to understand and work with spatial symmetries. This is useful because many real-world systems have these symmetries, like rotations and reflections. The model uses local reference frames to communicate information between different parts of the data, making sure that the information is consistent with the symmetries. This approach can be used with any deep learning architecture and has been shown to work well on point cloud tasks.
