Adversarial Autoencoder
https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.05644
- A generative models is to yield new data which subjects to a certain distribution so as to capture the distribution.
- An adversarial autoencoder (AAE) that can turn an autoencoder into a generative model.
- Matching the aggregated posterior to the prior ensures that generating from any part of prior space results in meaningful samples.
Motivation
The adversarial autoencoder matches the aggregated posterior distribution of the latent representation of the autoencoder to an arbitrary prior distribution.
The result of the training is that the encoder learns to convert the data distribution to the prior distribution, while the decoder learns a deep generative model that maps the imposed prior to the data distribution.
To speak differently, the encoder
