SHOT-VAE: Semi-supervised Deep Generative Models With Label-aware ELBO Approximations

Semi-supervised variational autoencoders (VAEs) have obtained strong results, but have also encountered the challenge that good ELBO values do not always imply accurate inference results.In this paper, we investigate and propose two causes of this problem: (1) The ELBO objective cannot utilize the l…
