This is a onging research.
The purpose of this research is to design a semi-supervised network that disentangles the label-related and non-label related(variance) representation of a manifold. The label related representation denotes F_i which only has label related information(such as identity of human face). Another representation F_v contains all non-label information(such as illumination, pose and background information etc.) The F_i and F_v are very usful in:
Recognition or Clustering task such as:
- Pose, illumination, etc. Invariance Face recognition.
- Cross-Domain recognition
- Better clustering result in dataset with large variance.
Variance Transformation
- Stitching F_i and F_v from different images, we can transfer many appearance attributes (style, background, pose, etc.) in one image to another.
