A Gentle Introduction to Autoencoders & Latent Space

Introduction Heavy computation is a well-known problem in various ML algorithms today, especially when generative AI is applied to text, images, and other unstructured data. One of the principal approaches to mitigate this problem is to compress input data into a lower-dimensional representation while preserving the main context.

arXiv:2410. 10137v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We develop Riemannian approaches to variational autoencoders (VAEs) for PDE-type ambient data with regularizing geometric latent dynamics, which we refer to as VAE-DLM, or VAEs with dynamical latent manifolds.

The Impact of VAE Design on Latent Pose Representations for Diffusion-based Sign Language Production

Latent diffusion approaches to sign language production (SLP) rely on an initial stage that learns an encoding of sign pose sequences, enabling generative modeling in the resulting latent space. The autoencoder used in this stage is typically evaluated in terms of reconstruction quality using geometric metrics common in SLP.
