Conditional Variational
Conditional Variational Autoencoders (CVAEs) are generative deep learning models designed to learn complex data distributions while incorporating external information (conditioning variables). Current research focuses on applying CVAEs to diverse tasks, including image generation, time series prediction (e.g., medical imaging, pedestrian trajectories), and data augmentation for improved model robustness and uncertainty quantification. This versatility makes CVAEs a powerful tool across various fields, enabling improved data synthesis, enhanced model performance in data-scarce scenarios, and more reliable predictions with associated uncertainty estimates. The ability to generate synthetic data also addresses privacy concerns in sensitive domains like medicine.
