Abstract

En 中文
To tackle the problem of semi-supervised learning (SSL), we propose a new autoencoder-based deep model. Ladder networks (LN) is an autoencoder-based method for representation learning which has been successfully applied on unsupervised learning and semi-supervised learning. However, It ignores the manifold information of high-dimensional data and usually achieves unmeaning features which are very difficult to use in the subsequent tasks, such as prediction and recognition. To these issues, we proposed Graph Regularized Variational Ladder Networks (GRVLN), which explicitly and implicitly employs the manifold structure of data. Our contributions can be summarized as two folds: (1) Graph regularization is used to build all decoder layers, which explicitly promotes the manifold learning via graph laplacian matrixs; (2) Variational autoencoder is used as the backbone instead of traditional autoencoder in the encoder layers for implicitly learning the manifold structure of data distribution. Compared with ladder networks and other autoencoder-based methods, GRVLN achieves superior performance in semi-supervised classification tasks. Experimental results show that our method also has a comparable performance with state-of-the-art methods on several benchmark data sets.
