Title:Deep Probabilistic Autoencoder and Its Applications
Speaker: Professor Bo Chen
Abstract:
To build a flexible and interpretable model for data analysis, in this talk we introduce our recent work, deep probabilistic autoencoder, that uses a hierarchy of gamma distributions to construct its multi-stochastic-layer generative network. In order to provide scalable posterior inference for the parameters of the generative network and efficiently infer the local latent representations via the inference network, we develop a scalable hybrid Bayesian inference method consisting of layer-adaptive stochastic gradient Riemannian MCMC and a Weibull upward-downward variational encoder. Based on the fundamental fully-connected deep model, we show its deep dynamic and convolutional variants on different tasks, such as supervised modeling, image-text joint modeling and radar HRRP target recognition.
