• Abstract summary: We focus on the problem of clustering in generated space of GANs and uncover its relationship with the characteristics of the latent space. We derive from first principles, the necessary and sufficient conditions needed to achieve faithful clustering in the GAN framework. We also describe a procedure to construct a multimodal latent space which facilitates learning of cluster priors with sparse supervision.

• Abstract: Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have shown remarkable success in generation of data from natural data manifolds such as images. In several scenarios, it is desirable that generated data is well-clustered, especially when there is severe class imbalance. In this paper, we focus on the problem of clustering in generated space of GANs and uncover its relationship with the characteristics of the latent space. We derive from first principles, the necessary and sufficient conditions needed to achieve faithful clustering in the GAN framework: (i) presence of a multimodal latent space with adjustable priors, (ii) existence of a latent space inversion mechanism and (iii) imposition of the desired cluster priors on the latent space. We also identify the GAN models in the literature that partially satisfy these conditions and demonstrate the importance of all the components required, through ablative studies on multiple real world image datasets. Additionally, we describe a procedure to construct a multimodal latent space which facilitates learning of cluster priors with sparse supervision.

  Unsupervised learning aims to capture the underlying structure of potentially large and high-dimensional datasets.

This unveils a new general framework, called distributional reduction, that recovers DR and clustering as special cases and allows addressing them jointly within a single optimization problem.

  We propose a hyper-Laplacian regularized concept factorization (HLRCF) in low-rank tensor space for multi-view clustering. Specifically, we adopt the concept factorization to explore the latent cluster-wise representation of each view. Considering that different tensor singular values associate structural information with unequal importance, we develop a self-weighted tensor Schatten p-norm.
