In this paper we study generative modeling via autoencoders while using the elegant geometric properties of the optimal transport (OT) problem and the Wasserstein distances. We introduce Sliced-Wasserstein Autoencoders (SWAE), which are generative models that enable one to shape the distribution of the latent space into any samplable probability distribution without the need for training an adversarial network or defining a closed-form for the distribution. In short, we regularize the autoencoder loss with the sliced-Wasserstein distance between the distribution of the encoded training samples and a predefined samplable distribution. We show that the proposed formulation has an efficient numerical solution that provides similar capabilities to Wasserstein Autoencoders (WAE) and Variational Autoencoders (VAE), while benefiting from an embarrassingly simple implementation.

Improving the Generation of VAEs with High Dimensional Latent Spaces by the use of Hyperspherical Coordinates
A VAE trained with a hand-built hyperspherical-coordinate regularizer compresses latent codes into a small region of the sphere and appears to improve decoded sample quality, though the reported generation protocol us...

CARoL: Context-aware Adaptation for Robot Learning
CARoL measures task similarity by state-transition prediction errors and uses those similarities to weight prior policies, value functions, or actor-critic knowledge when adapting to a new task.
