Isometric Quotient Variational Auto-Encoders for Structure-Preserving Representation Learning

We study structure-preserving low-dimensional representation of a data manifold embedded in a high-dimensional observation space based on variational auto-encoders (VAEs). We approach this by decomposing the data manifold $\mathcal{M}$ as $\mathcal{M} = \mathcal{M} / G \times G$, where $G$ and $\mat…
