Recovering manifold representations via unsupervised meta-learning by Yunye Gong, Jiachen Yao, Ruyi Lian, Xiao Lin, Chao Chen, Ajay Divakaran, Yi Yao

“…To address this issue, we propose manifold representation meta-learning (MRML) based on autoencoders to recover the underlying manifold structures without uniformly or densely sampled data. Specifically, we adopt episodic training, following model agnostic meta-learning, to meta-learn autoencoders that are generalizable to unseen samples specifically corresponding to regions with low-sampling density. …”
