Geometric Algebra-Enhanced Bayesian Flow Network for RNAInverse Design

Neural Information Processing Systems

With the development of biotechnology, RNA therapies have shown great potential. However, different from proteins, the sequences corresponding to a single RNA three-dimensional structure are more abundant. Most of the existing RNA design methods merely take into account the secondary structure of RNA, or are only capable of generating a limited number of candidate sequences. To address these limitations, we propose a geometric-algebra-enhanced Bayesian Flow Network for the inverse design of RNA, called RBFN. RBFN uses a Bayesian Flow Network to model the distribution of nucleotide sequences in RNA, enabling the generation of more reasonable RNA sequences. Meanwhile, considering the more flexible characteristics of RNA conformations, we utilize geometric algebra to enhance the modeling ability of the RNA three-dimensional structure, facilitating a better understanding of RNA structural properties. In addition, due to the scarcity of RNA structures and the limitation that there are only four types of nucleic acids, we propose a new time-step distribution sampling to address the scarcity of RNA structure data and the relatively small number of nucleic acid types. Evaluation on the single-state fixed-backbone re-design benchmark and multi-state fixedbackbone benchmark indicates that RBFN can outperform existing RNA design methods in various RNA design tasks, enabling effective RNA sequence design.



Geometric Algebra Transformer

Neural Information Processing Systems

Such data can take numerous forms, for instance points, direction vectors, translations, or rotations, but to date there is no single architecture that can be applied to such a wide variety of geometric types while respecting their symmetries. In this paper we introduce the Geometric Algebra Transformer (GA Tr), a general-purpose architecture for geometric data.



GLGENN: A Novel Parameter-Light Equivariant Neural Networks Architecture Based on Clifford Geometric Algebras

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We propose, implement, and compare with competitors a new architecture of equivariant neural networks based on geometric (Clifford) algebras: Generalized Lipschitz Group Equivariant Neural Networks (GLGENN). These networks are equivariant to all pseudo-orthogonal transformations, including rotations and reflections, of a vector space with any non-degenerate or degenerate symmetric bilinear form. We propose a weight-sharing parametrization technique that takes into account the fundamental structures and operations of geometric algebras. Due to this technique, GLGENN architecture is parameter-light and has less tendency to overfitting than baseline equivariant models. GLGENN outperforms or matches competitors on several benchmarking equivariant tasks, including estimation of an equivariant function and a convex hull experiment, while using significantly fewer optimizable parameters.

Hybrid Diffusion Policies with Projective Geometric Algebra for Efficient Robot Manipulation Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Diffusion policies are a powerful paradigm for robot learning, but their training is often inefficient. A key reason is that networks must relearn fundamental spatial concepts, such as translations and rotations, from scratch for every new task. To alleviate this redundancy, we propose embedding geometric inductive biases directly into the network architecture using Projective Geometric Algebra (PGA). PGA provides a unified algebraic framework for representing geometric primitives and transformations, allowing neural networks to reason about spatial structure more effectively. In this paper, we introduce hPGA-DP, a novel hybrid diffusion policy that capitalizes on these benefits. Our architecture leverages the Projective Geometric Algebra Transformer (P-GATr) as a state encoder and action decoder, while employing established U-Net or Transformer-based modules for the core denoising process. Through extensive experiments and ablation studies in both simulated and real-world environments, we demonstrate that hPGA-DP significantly improves task performance and training efficiency. Notably, our hybrid approach achieves substantially faster convergence compared to both standard diffusion policies and architectures that rely solely on P-GATr.


GAGrasp: Geometric Algebra Diffusion for Dexterous Grasping

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We propose GAGrasp, a novel framework for dexterous grasp generation that leverages geometric algebra representations to enforce equivariance to SE(3) transformations. By encoding the SE(3) symmetry constraint directly into the architecture, our method improves data and parameter efficiency while enabling robust grasp generation across diverse object poses. Additionally, we incorporate a differentiable physics-informed refinement layer, which ensures that generated grasps are physically plausible and stable. Extensive experiments demonstrate the model's superior performance in generalization, stability, and adaptability compared to existing methods. Additional details at https://gagrasp.github.io/


Generating Highly Designable Proteins with Geometric Algebra Flow Matching

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We introduce a generative model for protein backbone design utilizing geometric products and higher order message passing. In particular, we propose Clifford Frame Attention (CFA), an extension of the invariant point attention (IPA) architecture from AlphaFold2, in which the backbone residue frames and geometric features are represented in the projective geometric algebra. This enables to construct geometrically expressive messages between residues, including higher order terms, using the bilinear operations of the algebra. We evaluate our architecture by incorporating it into the framework of FrameFlow, a state-of-the-art flow matching model for protein backbone generation. The proposed model achieves high designability, diversity and novelty, while also sampling protein backbones that follow the statistical distribution of secondary structure elements found in naturally occurring proteins, a property so far only insufficiently achieved by many state-of-the-art generative models.
