Latent Traversals And Visualization
Latent traversals are a powerful tool for exploring and interpreting the representations learned by autoencoders.
The basic idea is to take a point in the latent space—typically the encoding of a real data sample—and systematically vary one latent dimension at a time, while keeping all other dimensions fixed.
By decoding each of these modified latent vectors back into the data space, you can observe how changes in a single latent variable affect the reconstructed output.
This process reveals the specific features or attributes that each latent variable controls, shedding light on the structure and semantics encoded within the latent space.
Suppose you train an autoencoder on handwritten digits.
- Encode a digit image into the latent space;
- Vary a single latent variable while keeping others fixed;
- Decode each new latent vector to generate images.
You will see how changing one latent variable alters features like the thickness, slant, or style of the digit, revealing which aspects each variable controls.
A latent traversal is the process of systematically varying one latent variable at a time in the encoded representation (latent space) of an autoencoder, while holding all other variables fixed. This technique is used to interpret and visualize the influence of individual latent variables on the reconstructed data, helping you understand what aspects of the input each latent dimension controls.
