The first annual NeurIPS Workshop on Symmetry and Geometry in Neural Representations (NeurReps) was conceived to bring together researchers at the nexus of applied geometry, deep learning, and neuroscience, with the goal of advancing this understanding and illuminating geometric principles for neural information processing. Ultimately, we hope that this venue and associated community will support the development of the geometric approach to understanding neural representations, while strengthening ties to the mathematics community. The Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) conference historically emerged from the field of theoretical neuroscience or “connectionism.” This venue thus further serves the workshop’s goal of reinforcing the bond between deep learning and neuroscience.
