The underlying geometrical structure of the latent space in deep generative models is in most cases not Euclidean, which may lead to biases when comparing interpolation capabilities of two models. Smoothness and plausibility of linear interpolations in latent space are associated with the quality of the underlying generative model. In this paper, we show that not all such interpolations are comparable as they can deviate arbitrarily from the shortest interpolation curve given by the geodesic. This deviation is revealed by computing curve lengths with the pull-back metric of the generative model, finding shorter curves than the straight line between endpoints, and measuring a non-zero relative length improvement on this straight line. This leads to a strategy to compare linear interpolations across two generative models. We also show the effect and importance of choosing an appropriate output space for computing shorter curves. For this computation we derive an extension of the pull-back metric.

Unsupervised meta-learning approaches rely on synthetic meta-tasks that are created using techniques such as random selection, clustering and/or augmentation. Unfortunately, clustering and augmentation are domain-dependent, and thus they require eith
er manual tweaking or expensive learning. In this work, we describe an approach that generates meta-tasks using generative models. A critical component is a novel approach of sampling from the latent space that generates objects grouped into synthetic classes forming the training and validation data of a meta-task. We find that the proposed approach, LAtent Space Interpolation Unsupervised Meta-learning (LASIUM), outperforms or is competitive with current unsupervised learning baselines on few-shot classification tasks on the most widely used benchmark datasets. In addition, the approach promises to be applicable without manual tweaking over a wider range of domains than previous approaches.
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.
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 i
n 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.
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.
We address the problem of compressed sensing using a deep generative prior model and consider both linear and learned nonlinear sensing mechanisms, where the nonlinear one involves either a fully connected neural network or a convolutional neural net
work. Recently, it has been argued that the distribution of natural images do not lie in a single manifold but rather lie in a union of several submanifolds. We propose a sparsity-driven latent space sampling (SDLSS) framework and develop a proximal meta-learning (PML) algorithm to enforce sparsity in the latent space. SDLSS allows the range-space of the generator to be considered as a union-of-submanifolds. We also derive the sample complexity bounds within the SDLSS framework for the linear measurement model. The results demonstrate that for a higher degree of compression, the SDLSS method is more efficient than the state-of-the-art method. We first consider a comparison between linear and nonlinear sensing mechanisms on Fashion-MNIST dataset and show that the learned nonlinear version is superior to the linear one. Subsequent comparisons with the deep compressive sensing (DCS) framework proposed in the literature are reported. We also consider the effect of the dimension of the latent space and the sparsity factor in validating the SDLSS framework. Performance quantification is carried out by employing three objective metrics: peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index metric (SSIM), and reconstruction error (RE).
