Variational Autoencoder & Conditional Variational Autoenoder on MNIST
VAE paper: Auto-Encoding Variational Bayes
CVAE paper: Learning Structured Output Representation using Deep Conditional Generative Models
In order to run conditional variational autoencoder, add --conditional to the the command. Check out the other commandline options in the code for hyperparameter settings (like learning rate, batch size, encoder/decoder layer depth and size).
Results
All plots obtained after 10 epochs of training. Hyperparameters accordning to default settings in the code; not tuned.
z ~ q(z|x) and q(z|x,c)
The modeled latent distribution after 10 epochs and 100 samples per digit.
