2.1. Variational autoencoder We wish to learn both an encoder and a decoder for map-ping data x to and from values z in a continuous space. The variational autoencoder (Kingma & Welling, 2014; Rezende et al., 2014) provides a formulation in which the encoding z is interpreted as a latent variable in a proba-

Variational autoencoders are powerful models for unsupervised learning. However deep models with several layers of dependent stochastic variables are difficult to train which limits the improvements obtained using these highly expressive models. We propose a new inference model, the Ladder Variational Autoencoder, that

Introduction to variational autoencoders Abstract Variational autoencoders are interesting generative models, which combine ideas from deep learning with statistical inference. They can be used to learn a low dimensional representation Z of high dimensional data X such as images (of e.g. faces). In contrast to standard auto encoders, X and Z are

The variational AutoEncoder (VAE) is a deep generative model [10, 15] where one can simultaneously learn a decoder and an encoder from data.

Interestingly, a variational autoencoder does not generally have such a regularization parameter , which is good because that’s one less parameter that the programmer needs to adjust.

19.06.2016 · Download PDF Abstract: In just three years, Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) have emerged as one of the most popular approaches to unsupervised learning of complicated distributions. VAEs are appealing because they are built on top of standard function approximators (neural networks), and can be trained with stochastic gradient descent.
