Tree Variational
Tree Variational Autoencoders (TreeVAEs) are generative models that learn hierarchical structures within data by constructing tree-like representations of latent variables. Current research focuses on improving these models' efficiency and accuracy, particularly through the use of octree-based architectures for 3D data generation and junction tree variations for molecular design and property prediction. These advancements enable improved clustering, batch effect correction in single-cell data analysis, and more robust uncertainty quantification in generative models, impacting fields ranging from materials science to bioinformatics. The ability to generate samples conditioned on specific properties or labels further enhances their utility in various applications.
