Deep latent variable models learn condensed representations of data that, hopefully, reflect the inner workings of the studied phenomena. Unfortunately, these latent representations are not statistically identifiable, meaning they cannot be…
Multi-view learning has progressed rapidly in recent years. Although many previous studies assume that each instance appears in all views, it is common in real-world applications for instances to be missing from some views, resulting in…
