Multilingual Variational Autoencoder

A Multilingual Variational Autoencoder (ML-VAE) extends the standard VAE framework to handle multiple languages within a shared probabilistic latent space. Language-specific encoders map text from each language into a common continuous representation, while language-specific decoders reconstruct or translate that text. This enables cross-lingual generation, style transfer, and representation learning with or without parallel corpora.
