The Filling-in Function of the Bayesian AutoEncoder Network

摘要

We developed the Bayesian AutoEncoder (BAE) to construct a multi-layer restricted Bayesian Network by extracting features from a training dataset. Networks constructed using BAE have hidden variables that represent features of the data and can execute inferences for each feature. In this paper, we show that a network constructed by BAE can not only recognize features but can also fill in lacking data. We performed experiments and confirmed this filling-in ability.
