The proposed Discrete Equivariant Graph Neural Network (DEGNN) enhances the generalization ability and data efficiency of graph neural networks in modeling physical dynamics. By incorporating discrete symmetries into GNNs, DEGNN addresses limitations in existing approaches that overlook necessary symmetry or impose excessive equivariance. The model transforms geometric features into permutation-invariant embeddings, allowing for more geometric feature combinations to approximate unobserved physical object interaction functions. Two implementation approaches are proposed: ranking and pooling permutation-invariant functions. Experimental results demonstrate DEGNN’s superiority over state-of-the-art methods in twenty scenarios, showcasing its ability to learn with less data and generalize across scenarios.

DEGNN is a new way to help computers understand physical dynamics, like how particles move or people behave. Right now, computer models can’t always get this right because they don’t consider the symmetry of certain situations. This means they might not work well in cases where the situation changes in a way that’s related to these symmetries. The DEGNN model is designed to fix this problem by considering the discrete symmetries found in many physical systems. It does this by taking geometric features and turning them into something that can be used across different situations, allowing it to learn more quickly and make better predictions.
