I’m quite new to machine learning. I’ve only taken one ML class, but I’m hoping to expand on what we did there, which was mainly different ways to cluster data. I’ve mainly tried the built-in clustering methods so far.
I came across this article: https://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/EXDJiang/spl20.pdf
And I wanted to try clustering with a VAE. From what I understand from the paper, a clustering method is going to be applied to the latent dimensions? I’ve looked at the VAE examples in MATLAB, but they all deal with image data and recreating images. Plus, the latent dimensions weren’t explicitly accessed there.
Am I going in the wrong direction with this idea? Are there more suited neural architectures for clustering?
Thank you in advance, and sorry if this is a vague and terrible question.I’m quite new to machine learning. I’ve only taken one ML class, but I’m hoping to expand on what we did there, which was mainly different ways to cluster data. I’ve mainly tried the built-in clustering methods so far.
