7 results for FactorVAE

New methods improve genetic studies of complex diseases.

problem Improving genetic studies of complex diseases using high-dimensional clinical data.
method Evaluation of unsupervised disentangled representation learning methods (autoencoders, VAE, beta-VAE, FactorVAE) for genetic association studies.
result FactorVAEs and beta-VAEs outperform standard VAEs and non-variational autoencoders in genetic studies of asthma and COPD.

We define and address the problem of unsupervised learning of disentangled representations on data generated from independent factors of variation. We propose FactorVAE, a method that disentangles by encouraging the distribution of representations to be factorial and hence independent across the dimensions. We show tha…

DynamicVAE improves disentanglement and reconstruction accuracy without sacrificing one for the other.

problem The inherent trade-off between disentanglement and reconstruction accuracy in VAE models.
method DynamicVAE uses a modified incremental PI controller to dynamically adjust the weight β during training, decoupling disentanglement and reconstruction accuracy.
result DynamicVAE significantly improves reconstruction accuracy while maintaining disentanglement comparable to existing methods.
