arXiv:2601. 18128v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: High-dimensional data often exhibit variation that can be captured by lower-dimensional factors.
arXiv:2606. 03553v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While principal component analysis (PCA) is a fundamental tool for dimensionality reduction, its dense representations make it ill-suited for high-dimensional data.
arXiv:2606. 28854v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The common factor analytic model is related to Helmholtz and Boltzmann machines, can be conceived as a linear autoencoder, or can be thought of as a single-hidden-layer generative neural network.
arXiv:2606. 11570v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a spectral-based, unsupervised representation learning framework to derive low-dimensional embeddings for clinical concepts and patients in rare disease cohorts from electronic health records, where data are high-dimensional but sample sizes are limited.
arXiv:2607. 08254v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantifying variability in a target population relative to a reference population is central to many scientific and clinical problems (e.
arXiv:2608. 13234v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In order to understand complex systems such as the human metabolome or human brain, different sensing technologies are used, generating complex data.
arXiv:2607. 18209v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper considers a multi-environment factor model in which high-dimensional covariates are collected from heterogeneous environments, with auxiliary labels available in a subset of these environments.
EXPOSE is a framework that applies Sparse Autoencoders to Vision Foundation Model embeddings in computational pathology, aiming to separate biological signals from domain‑specific noise. By training a sparse representation of VFM features and using a linear classifier to flag domain‑specific latent dimensions, the method masks these components before downstream relapse prediction, avoiding the need to retrain the backbone model. Experiments on a large prostate cancer dataset demonstrate that removing domain‑specific features improves cross‑domain performance and raises the Domain Robustness Index (DoRI).
arXiv:2401. 04890v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This work introduces a novel principle for disentanglement we call mechanism sparsity regularization, which applies when the latent factors of interest depend sparsely on observed auxiliary variables and/or past latent factors.
Neuro-Causal Factor Analysis (NCFA) reimagines traditional factor analysis by integrating causal structure learning and deep generative modeling. The method learns a directed graph linking latent and observed variables, then trains a deep generative model that respects the graph’s Markov factorization. Experiments on synthetic and real datasets show NCFA achieves lower reconstruction error than standard FA and better latent distribution recovery than a variational autoencoder, while offering a sparser architecture, reduced complexity, and causal interpretability.
