Three Variations on Variational Autoencoders
Variational autoencoders (VAEs) are one class of generative probabilistic latent-variable models designed for inference based on known data. We develop three variations on VAEs by introducing a second parameterized encoder/decoder pair and, for one variation, an additional fixed encoder. The parameters of the encoders/decoders are to be learned with a neural network. The fixed encoder is obtained by probabilistic-PCA. The variations are compared to the Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO) approximation to the original VAE. One variation leads to an Evidence Upper Bound (EUBO) that can be used in conjunction with the original ELBO to interrogate the convergence of the VAE.

Conditional Inference in Pre-trained Variational Autoencoders via Cross-coding
Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) are a popular generative model, but one in which conditional inference can be challenging. If the decomposition into query and evidence variables is fixed, conditional VAEs provide an attr…
Adversarial Attacks on Variational Autoencoders
Adversarial attacks are malicious inputs that derail machine-learning models. We propose a scheme to attack autoencoders, as well as a quantitative evaluation framework that correlates well with the qualitative assessmen…
