Doubly Stochastic Adversarial Autoencoder
Mahdi Azarafrooz
Any autoencoder network can be turned into a generative model by imposing an arbitrary prior distribution on its hidden code vector. Variational Autoencoder (VAE) [2] uses a KL div…

On the Information Theoretic Distance Measures and Bidirectional Helmholtz Machines
Mahdi Azarafrooz, Xuan Zhao, Sepehr Akhavan-Masouleh
By establishing a connection between bi-directional Helmholtz machines and information theory, we propose a generalized Helmholtz machine. Theoretical and experimental results show…
