Archetypal Analysis as an autoencoder
In this article we show how the structure of an autoencoder network can be used to produce the output of an archetypal analysis reducing the computational effort. Archetypal Analysis as an autoencoder Archetypal Analysis (AA) is a data approximation method...
PCA improvement and generalization with deep learning
In this article we show how the structure of an autoencoder network can be used to produce the output of an archetypal analysis reducing the computational effort. PCA improvement and generalization with deep learning: Dimensionality reduction...
