Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The Sinkhorn autoencoder is a novel generative model using optimal transport to model the aggregated posterior from samples, hence discarding traditional reparametrization trick from classical Variational Autoencoder (VAE) and allowing better flexibility of metrics spaces and priors. Yet, one of the down side of all latent space modelling methods is the lack of interpretability and the potential entanglement problem. The aim of this work is to extend the Sinkhorn Autoencoder to better disentangle the latent space by focusing on the class/style separation approach while providing better interpretability and generative capability. Thus, our method would help further expand knowledge regarding optimal transport based generative model.
