Problems solved by technology

However, LTVAE uses a complex tree model to iteratively optimize the structural relationship between its hidden variables, and its clustering performance is poor. GMVAE and VaDE use mean field approximation, but this approximation may not hold true in actual data, resulting in poor clustering accuracy. lower

Abstract

The invention discloses a clustering method and device based on a variational auto-encoder, and the method comprises the steps of obtaining input data x; combining the input data x with a variationalauto-encoder to obtain a corresponding discrete category hidden variable y and a continuous Gaussian hidden variable z; obtaining corresponding joint probability distribution q (z, y|x) by combining the input data x, the discrete category implicit variable y and the continuous Gaussian implicit variable z with a variation auto-encoder; and directly decomposing the joint probability distribution q(z, y|x) by using a variational auto-encoder, and determining the category of the input data x according to the probability distribution of the discrete category implicit variable y. According to themethod, improvement is carried out on the basis of a variational auto-encoder, average field approximation is abandoned, probability distribution of discrete category implicit variables is obtained byadopting direct decomposition joint probability distribution, then the category of input data is determined, and the clustering effect and accuracy are improved.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the priority of the Chinese patent application number "202011165489.X" submitted by Tsinghua University on October 27, 2020, with the application name "Clustering method and device based on variational autoencoder". technical field [0003] The present application relates to the technical field of deep learning, in particular to a clustering method and device based on a variational autoencoder. Background technique [0004] At present, unsupervised clustering is widely used in many practical fields, for example, the clustering of images or image features. In related technologies, data clustering is realized through the variational autoencoder model. For example, LTVAE greedily learns the tree structure between hidden variables by using the tree model on the hidden variable, and the complex prior constrained variational autoencoder constructed accordingly The encoder model is used for clustering...
