AutoEncoderToolkit.jl

Build Status codecov status

Welcome to the AutoEncoderToolkit.jl GitHub repository. This package provides a simple interface for training and using Flux.jl-based autoencoders and variational autoencoders in Julia.

Installation

You can install AutoEncoderToolkit.jl using the Julia package manager. From the Julia REPL, type ] to enter the Pkg REPL mode and run:

add AutoEncoderToolkit

Design

The idea behind AutoEncoderToolkit.jl is to take advantage of Julia's multiple dispatch to provide a simple and flexible interface for training and using different types of autoencoders. The package is designed to be modular and allow the user to easily define and test custom encoder and decoder architectures. Moreover, when it comes to variational autoencoders, AutoEncoderToolkit.jl takes a probabilistic perspective, where the type of encoders and decoders defines (via multiple dispatch) the corresponding distribution used within the corresponding loss function.

For more information, please refer to the documentation.

Implemented Autoencoders

model module description
Autoencoder AEs Vanilla deterministic autoencoder
Variational Autoencoder VAEs Vanilla variational autoencoder
β-VAE VAEs beta-VAE to weigh the reconstruction vs. KL divergence in ELBO
MMD-VAEs MMDs Maximum-Mean Discrepancy Variational Autoencoders
InfoMax-VAEs InfoMaxVAEs Information Maximization Variational Autoencoders
Hamiltonian VAE HVAEs Hamiltonian Variational Autoencoders
Riemannian Hamiltonian-VAE RHVAEs Riemannian-Hamiltonian Variational Autoencoder

Notes

Some tests are failing only when running on GitHub Actions. Locally, all tests pass. The error in Github Actions shows up when testing the computation of loss function gradients as:

Got exception outside of a @test

BoundsError: attempt to access 16-element Vector{UInt8} at index [0]

PRs to fix this issue are welcome.
