The Importance of Categories in Geometric Deep Learning
Categorical concepts like categories, functors and natural transformations basically generalize all the stuff of geometric deep learning into the wrong beyond. In our paper we tried to use exactly these kinds of category theoretic tools to study what it would mean to build a graph neural network that is capable of behaving like a classical computer science algorithm. But one thing that people very often do when they want to predict not only the outputs but also in the edges is to implement GNNs with categorical representations. And just because you cannot implement it mathematically doesn't mean this is no longer a problem from the categorical perspective. It gives us a very interesting sort of if you've done any functional programming a
