Variational autoencoders provide a principled framework for learning deep latent-variable models and corresponding inference models. In this work, we provide an introduction to variational autoencoders and some important extensions.

  1. DecNefSimulator: A Modular, Interpretable Framework for Decoded Neurofeedback Simulation Using Generative Models

    q-bio.NC 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A generative-model simulator of decoded neurofeedback shows that alternative-class choice, initial cognitive state, and random exploration jointly determine whether simulated participants learn or appear as non-responders.

  2. Accelerated Sampling from Masked Diffusion Models via Entropy Bounded Unmasking

    cs.LG 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    EB-Sampler dynamically unmasks multiple low-entropy tokens per function evaluation, accelerating masked diffusion model sampling by 2-3x with negligible accuracy loss.

  3. Thompson Sampling in Online RLHF with General Function Approximation

    cs.LG 2025-05 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A model-free posterior sampling algorithm for online RLHF is shown to achieve O(sqrt(T)) regret when the completed function class has low Bellman eluder dimension.

  4. Variational Autoencoder Layer

    cs.LG 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    VAEs can be recast as individual neural layers and trained without back-propagation via a multimodal ELBO, yet the resulting shallow classifiers reach only modest accuracy on standard image benchmarks.

  5. Causal Transfer in Medical Image Analysis

    cs.CV 2026-03 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Causal Transfer Learning unifies structural causal models, invariant risk minimisation and counterfactuals with transfer learning to produce domain-robust medical image models.

    eess.SY 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Physics-informed VAEs with Hamiltonian-based losses generate trajectories that match training distributions and satisfy optimal-control equations from as few as 200 to 500 samples.

  7. Half-AVAE: Adversarial-Enhanced Factorized and Structured Encoder-Free VAE for Underdetermined Independent Component Analysis

    stat.ML 2025-06 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Half-AVAE adds adversarial independence training and hand-tuned external regularizers to an encoder-free VAE and reports improved source recovery on one synthetic underdetermined ICA dataset.

  8. Closing the Gap between TD Learning and Supervised Learning with $Q$-Conditioned Maximization

    cs.LG 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    GCReinSL adds Q-conditioned maximization to supervised offline RL, using normalizing flows to estimate goal-reaching probabilities and expectile regression to condition actions on the best in-distribution value, impro...

  9. Latent Sensor Fusion: Multimedia Learning of Physiological Signals for Resource-Constrained Devices

    eess.SP 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A single image-pretrained VQ-VAE encoder, applied to spectrograms of six physiological signals, matches a modality-specific fusion baseline on WESAD stress classification while using less compute and memory.

  10. Towards Foundation Auto-Encoders for Time-Series Anomaly Detection

    cs.LG 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10
