EXoN: EXplainable encoder Network
SeungHwan An, Hosik Choi, Jong-June Jeon
We propose a new semi-supervised learning method of Variational AutoEncoder (VAE) which yields a customized and explainable latent space by EXplainable encoder Network (EXoN). Customization means a manual design of latent space layout for specific labeled data. To improve the performance of our VAE in a classification task without the loss of performance as a generative model, we employ a new semi-supervised classification method called SCI (Soft-label Consistency Interpolation). The classification loss and the Kullback-Leibler divergence play a crucial role in constructing explainable latent space. The variability of generated samples from our proposed model depends on a specific subspace, called activated latent subspace. Our numerical results with MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets show that EXoN produces an explainable latent space and reduces the cost of investigating representation patterns on the latent space.
