Variational Auto-encoders (VAEs) have been very successful as methods for forming compressed latent representations of complex, often high-dimensional, data. In this paper, we derive an alternative variational lower bound from the one…

The Variational Autoencoder (VAE) has proven to be an effective model for producing semantically meaningful latent representations for natural data. However, it has thus far seen limited application to sequential data, and, as we…

Learning deep discrete latent presentations offers a promise of better symbolic and summarized abstractions that are more useful to subsequent downstream tasks. Inspired by the seminal Vector Quantized Variational Auto-Encoder (VQ-VAE),…

In generative modeling, the Wasserstein distance (WD) has emerged as a useful metric to measure the discrepancy between generated and real data distributions. Unfortunately, it is challenging to approximate the WD of high-dimensional…

We propose a topic-guided variational autoencoder (TGVAE) model for text generation. Distinct from existing variational autoencoder (VAE) based approaches, which assume a simple Gaussian prior for the latent code, our model specifies the…

While variational autoencoders have been successful in several tasks, the use of conventional priors are limited in their ability to encode the underlying structure of input data. We introduce an Encoded Prior Sliced Wasserstein AutoEncoder…

Learning suitable latent representations for observed, high-dimensional data is an important research topic underlying many recent advances in machine learning. While traditionally the Gaussian normal distribution has been the go-to latent…

Variational autoencoders (VAEs) frequently suffer from posterior collapse, where the latent variables become uninformative as the approximate posterior degenerates to the prior. While recent work has characterized collapse as a phase…

Is there really much more to say about sparse autoencoders (SAEs)? Autoencoders in general, and SAEs in particular, represent deep architectures that are capable of modeling low-dimensional latent structure in data. Such structure could…

Maximizing the user-item engagement based on vectorized embeddings is a standard procedure of recent recommender models. Despite the superior performance for item recommendations, these methods however implicitly deprioritize the modeling…

This study explores the application of Convolutional Autoencoders (CAEs) for analyzing and reconstructing Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) images of various crystalline lattice structures. We developed two distinct CAE architectures to…

When sensors collect spatio-temporal data in a large geographical area, the existence of missing data cannot be escaped. Missing data negatively impacts the performance of data analysis and machine learning algorithms. In this paper, we…

In this paper, we develop a Wasserstein autoencoder (WAE) with a hyperspherical prior for multimodal data in the application of inertial confinement fusion. Unlike a typical hyperspherical generative model that requires computationally…

We present a Split Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder (SVQ-VAE) architecture using a split vector quantizer for NTTS, as an enhancement to the well-known Variational Autoencoder (VAE) and Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder…

Disentangled representation learning has undoubtedly benefited from objective function surgery. However, a delicate balancing act of tuning is still required in order to trade off reconstruction fidelity versus disentanglement. Building on…

The application of self-supervised learning (SSL) and Vision Transformers (ViTs) approaches demonstrates promising results in the field of 2D medical imaging, but the use of these methods on 3D volumetric images is fraught with…

Objective: Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) demonstrates great potential in assessing soft-tissue pathology by mapping tissue stiffness, which is linked to malignancy. Traditional SWE methods have shown promise in estimating tissue…

As big spatial data becomes increasingly prevalent, classical spatiotemporal (ST) methods often do not scale well. While methods have been developed to account for high-dimensional spatial objects, the setting where there are exceedingly…

A data-driven framework is proposed towards the end of predictive modeling of complex spatio-temporal dynamics, leveraging nested non-linear manifolds. Three levels of neural networks are used, with the goal of predicting the future state…
