Inducing Fourier Geometry: A Smoothness Prior Imposes Approximate Translation Equivariance in Multimodal Stellar Embeddings
Learned representations often contain geometric structure induced by symmetries in the underlying data. We ask whether a known continuous parameter space can instead be used to \emph{induce} such structure when the corresponding symmetry is only approximate. We introduce a graph-Laplacian smoothness prior that encourag...
