Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• This is the first study to delineate the applicable scenarios and conditions for Gaussian, Laplace, and Student-t decoders. • The Laplace VAE is proposed to mitigate training instability in scenarios in which the feature space includes numerous zero-variance features. • A regularization term is introduced by applying a gamma prior to the shape parameter of the Laplace decoder to address feature redundancy in high-dimensional data. • The MAPLE-VAE is extended to the Cauchy distribution and applied to highly imbalanced datasets, achieving promising results.
