On the Transformation of Latent Space in Autoencoders
Noting the importance of the latent variables in inference and learning, we propose a novel framework for autoencoders based on the homeomorphic transformation of latent variables, which could reduce the distance between vectors in the transformed space, while preserving the topological properties of the original space, and investigate the effect of the latent space transformation on learning generative models and denoising corrupted data. The experimental results demonstrate that our generative and denoising models based on the proposed framework can provide better performance than conventional variational and denoising autoencoders due to the transformation, where we evaluate the performance of generative and denoising models in terms of the Hausdorff distance between the sets of training and processed i.e., either generated or denoised images, which can objectively measure their differences, as well as through direct comparison of the visual characteristics of the processed images.

No Representation without Transformation
We extend the framework of variational autoencoders to represent transformations explicitly in the latent space. In the family of hierarchical graphical models that emerges, the latent space is populated by higher order …
EQ-VAE: Equivariance Regularized Latent Space for Improved Generative Image Modeling
Latent generative models have emerged as a leading approach for high-quality image synthesis. These models rely on an autoencoder to compress images into a latent space, followed by a generative model to learn the latent…
Image GenerationUniform Transformation: Refining Latent Representation in Variational Autoencoders
Irregular distribution in latent space causes posterior collapse, misalignment between posterior and prior, and ill-sampling problem in Variational Autoencoders (VAEs). In this paper, we introduce a novel adaptable three…

The dynamics of a turbulent flow tend to occupy only a portion of the phase space at a statistically stationary regime. From a dynamical systems point of view, this portion is the attractor. The knowledge of the turbulen…
Disentangling Autoencoders (DAE)
Noting the importance of factorizing (or disentangling) the latent space, we propose a novel, non-probabilistic disentangling framework for autoencoders, based on the principles of symmetry transformations in group-theor…
