摘要
En 中文
Variational autoencoders (VAEs) have demonstrated their superiority in unsupervised learning for image processing in recent years. The performance of the VAEs highly depends on their architectures, which are often handcrafted by the human expertise in deep neural networks (DNNs). However, such expertise is not necessarily available to each of the end users interested. In this article, we propose a novel method to automatically design optimal architectures of VAEs for image classification, called evolving deep convolutional VAE (EvoVAE), based on a genetic algorithm (GA). In the proposed EvoVAE algorithm, the traditional VAEs are first generalized to a more generic and asymmetrical one with four different blocks, and then a variable-length gene encoding mechanism of the GA is presented to search for the optimal network depth. Furthermore, an effective genetic operator is designed to adapt to the proposed variable-length gene encoding strategy. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, nine variants of AEs and VAEs are chosen as the peer competitors to perform the comparisons on MNIST, street view house numbers, and CIFAR-10 benchmark datasets. The experiments reveal the superiority of the proposed EvoVAE algorithm, which wins 21 times out of the 24 comparisons and outperforms the best competitors by 1.39%, 14.21%, and 13.03% on the three benchmark datasets, respectively.
