lie_learn is a python package that knows how to do various tricky computations related to Lie groups and manifolds (mainly the sphere S2 and rotation group SO3). This package was written to support various machine learning projects, such as Harmonic Exponential Families [2], (continuous) Group Equivariant Networks [3], Steerable CNNs [4] and Spherical CNNs [5].

What this code can do

Installation

lie_learn can be installed from pypi using:

pip install lie_learn

Although cython is not a necessary dependency, if you have cython installed, cython will write new versions of the *.c files before compiling them into *.so during installation. To use lie_learn, you will need a c compiler which is available to python setuptools.
