Breaking news: Graph nerds unveil #Batmobile 🦇🚗, a glorified fancy math hack that claims to turbocharge already-niche neural networks. Apparently, someone thought squashing spherical harmonics would make them relevant to the normal world. 😂

Very glad of this new collaborative work "Herglotz-NET: Implicit Neural Representation of Spherical Data with Harmonic Positional Encoding" with Théo Hanon, Nicolas Mil-Homens Cavaco, John Kiely, Laurent Jacques https://arxiv.org/html/2502.13777v1

In this work, we propose Herglotz-NET (HNET), a novel INR architecture that employs a harmonic positional encoding based on complex Herglotz mappings. This encoding yields a well-posed representation on the sphere with interpretable and robust spectral properties. Moreover, we present a unified expressivity analysis showing that any spherical-based INR satisfying a mild condition exhibits a predictable spectral expansion that scales with network depth. Our results establish HNET as a scalable and flexible framework for accurate modeling of spherical data.

I chose to signup up with the #fosstodon server because I strongly believe in using #opensource software that respects our privacy. I am the lead developer of the python based @shtools software that allows you to easily manipulate data expressed in #sphericalharmonics. I wish I had more time to code and contribute to other projects, but alas, I am overcommitted.
