Autoencoding topology

arXiv:1803.00156

Abstract

The problem of learning a manifold structure on a dataset is framed in terms of a generative model, to which we use ideas behind autoencoders (namely adversarial/Wasserstein autoencoders) to fit deep neural networks. From a machine learning perspective, the resulting structure, an atlas of a manifold, may be viewed as a combination of dimensionality reduction and "fuzzy" clustering.
