Bottleneck-based Encoder-decoder ARchitecture (BEAR) for Learning Unbiased Consumer-to-Consumer Image Representations

원문 초록

Unbiased representation learning is still an object of study under specific applications and contexts. Novel architectures are usually crafted to resolve particular problems using mixtures of fundamental pieces. This paper presents different image feature extraction mechanisms that work together with residual connections to encode perceptual image information in an autoencoder configuration. We use image data that aims to support a larger research agenda dealing with issues regarding criminal activity in consumer-to-consumer online platforms. Preliminary results suggest that the proposed architecture can learn rich spaces using ours and other image datasets resolving important challenges that are identified.
