In particular, variational autoencoders are capable of modeling highly complex natural distributions such as images, while extracting natural and human-understandable features without labels. In this paper we combine two highly useful classes of models, variational ladder autoencoders, and MMD variational autoencoders, to model face images. In particular, we show that we can disentangle highly meaningful and interpretable features. Furthermore, we are able to perform arithmetic operations on faces and modify faces to add or remove high level features.展开更多
