Abstract(in English) Principal component analysis (PCA) is an effective tool for clarifying data structure. Each principal component includes almost all variables, which hinders understanding of features of principal components. To decrease the number of variables in principal components, extensive research on sparse PCA using L1-norm has been carried out. Since optimization with L1-norm is reduced to quadratic programming, the reduction of computational cost is a major concern. In the field of neural networks, autoencoders are used for information compression. Sparse autoencoders are also studied with L1-norm and other regularization terms. The author proposes to introduce the concept of PCA into autoencoders. In other words, the paper pursues autoencoders with larger explanation capability (i.e., larger cumulated contribution rate) and fewer variables in principal components. The paper successfully develops superior autoencoders compared with sparse PCA based on L1-norm.
