SurReal: Complex-Valued Learning as Principled Transformations on a Scaling and Rotation Manifold

Complex-valued data are ubiquitous in signal and image processing applications, and complex-valued representations in deep learning have appealing theoretical properties. While these aspects have long been recognized, complex-valued deep learning continues to lag far behind its real-valued counterpart. We propose a principled geometric approach to complex-valued deep learning. Complex-valued data ...
