Generative Adversarial networks (GANs) have obtained remarkable success in many unsupervised learning tasks and unarguably, clustering is an important unsupervised learning problem. While one can potentially exploit the latent-space back-projection in GANs to cluster, we demonstrate that the cluster structure is not retained in the GAN latent space. In this paper, we propose ClusterGAN as a new mechanism for clustering using GANs. By sampling latent variables from a mixture of one-hot encoded variables and continuous latent variables, coupled with an inverse network (which projects the data to the latent space) trained jointly with a clustering specific loss, we are able to achieve clustering in the latent space. Our results show a remarkable phenomenon that GANs can preserve latent space interpolation across categories, even though the discriminator is never exposed to such vectors. We compare our results with various clustering baselines and demonstrate superior performance on both synthetic and real datasets.

In this work, we propose deep latent space clustering for speaker diarization using generative adversarial network (GAN) backprojection with the help of an encoder network. The proposed diarization system is trained jointly with GAN loss, latent vari able recovery loss, and a clustering-specific loss. It uses x-vector speaker embeddings at the input, while the latent variables are sampled from a combination of continuous random variables and discrete one-hot encoded variables using the original speaker labels. We benchmark our proposed system on the AMI meeting corpus, and two child-clinician interaction corpora (ADOS and BOSCC) from the autism diagnosis domain. ADOS and BOSCC contain diagnostic and treatment outcome sessions respectively obtained in clinical settings for verbal children and adolescents with autism. Experimental results show that our proposed system significantly outperform the state-of-the-art x-vector based diarization system on these databases. Further, we perform embedding fusion with x-vectors to achieve a relative DER improvement of 31%, 36% and 49% on AMI eval, ADOS and BOSCC corpora respectively, when compared to the x-vector baseline using oracle speech segmentation.

A Triangle Generative Adversarial Network ($Delta$-GAN) is developed for semi-supervised cross-domain joint distribution matching, where the training data consists of samples from each domain, and supervision of domain correspondence is provided by o nly a few paired samples. $Delta$-GAN consists of four neural networks, two generators and two discriminators. The generators are designed to learn the two-way conditional distributions between the two domains, while the discriminators implicitly define a ternary discriminative function, which is trained to distinguish real data pairs and two kinds of fake data pairs. The generators and discriminators are trained together using adversarial learning. Under mild assumptions, in theory the joint distributions characterized by the two generators concentrate to the data distribution. In experiments, three different kinds of domain pairs are considered, image-label, image-image and image-attribute pairs. Experiments on semi-supervised image classification, image-to-image translation and attribute-based image generation demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach.

Variational Auto-Encoders enforce their learned intermediate latent-space data distribution to be a simple distribution, such as an isotropic Gaussian. However, this causes the posterior collapse problem and loses manifold structure which can be impo rtant for datasets such as facial images. A GAN can transform a simple distribution to a latent-space data distribution and thus preserve the manifold structure, but optimizing a GAN involves solving a Min-Max optimization problem, which is difficult and not well understood so far. Therefore, we propose a GAN-like method to transform a simple distribution to a data distribution in the latent space by solving only a minimization problem. This minimization problem comes from training a discriminator between a simple distribution and a latent-space data distribution. Then, we can explicitly formulate an Optimal Transport (OT) problem that computes the desired mapping between the two distributions. This means that we can transform a distribution without solving the difficult Min-Max optimization problem. Experimental results on an eight-Gaussian dataset show that the proposed OT can handle multi-cluster distributions. Results on the MNIST and the CelebA datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Kernel PCA is a powerful feature extractor which recently has seen a reformulation in the context of Restricted Kernel Machines (RKMs). These RKMs allow for a representation of kernel PCA in terms of hidden and visible units similar to Restricted Bol tzmann Machines. This connection has led to insights on how to use kernel PCA in a generative procedure, called generative kernel PCA. In this paper, the use of generative kernel PCA for exploring latent spaces of datasets is investigated. New points can be generated by gradually moving in the latent space, which allows for an interpretation of the components. Firstly, examples of this feature space exploration on three datasets are shown with one of them leading to an interpretable representation of ECG signals. Afterwards, the use of the tool in combination with novelty detection is shown, where the latent space around novel patterns in the data is explored. This helps in the interpretation of why certain points are considered as novel.
Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs) are generative models that can produce data samples ($x$) conditioned on both latent variables ($z$) and known auxiliary information ($c$). We propose the Bidirectional cGAN (BiCoGAN), which effecti vely disentangles $z$ and $c$ in the generation process and provides an encoder that learns inverse mappings from $x$ to both $z$ and $c$, trained jointly with the generator and the discriminator. We present crucial techniques for training BiCoGANs, which involve an extrinsic factor loss along with an associated dynamically-tuned importance weight. As compared to other encoder-based cGANs, BiCoGANs encode $c$ more accurately, and utilize $z$ and $c$ more effectively and in a more disentangled way to generate samples.
