**Geomancer** is a nonparametric algorithm for symmetry-based disentangling of data manifolds. It learns a set of subspaces to assign to each point in the dataset, where each subspace is the tangent space of one disentangled submanifold. This means that geomancer can be used to disentangle manifolds for which there may not be a global axis-aligned coordinate system.

The **Swin Transformer** is a type of [Vision Transformer](https://paperswithcode.com/method/vision-transformer). It builds hierarchical feature maps by merging image patches (shown in gray) in deeper layers and has linear computation complexity to input image size due to computation of self-attention only within each local window (shown in red). It can thus serve as a general-purpose backbone for both image classification and dense recognition tasks. In contrast, previous vision Transformers produce feature maps of a single low resolution and have quadratic computation complexity to input image size due to computation of self-attention globally.

Disentangling by Subspace Diffusion

A **Region Proposal Network**, or **RPN**, is a fully convolutional network that simultaneously predicts object bounds and objectness scores at each position. The RPN is trained end-to-end to generate high-quality region proposals. RPN and algorithms like [Fast R-CNN](https://paperswithcode.com/method/fast-r-cnn) can be merged into a single network by sharing their convolutional features - using the recently popular terminology of neural networks with attention mechanisms, the RPN component tells the unified network where to look.

RPNs are designed to efficiently predict region proposals with a wide range of scales and aspect ratios. RPNs use anchor boxes that serve as references at multiple scales and aspect ratios. The scheme can be thought of as a pyramid of regression references, which avoids enumerating images or filters of multiple scales or aspect ratios.
