Weakly Supervised Variational Autoencoder
A Weakly Supervised Variational Autoencoder (WS-VAE) extends the standard VAE generative framework by incorporating partial, noisy, or coarse supervision signals — such as crowd-sourced labels, heuristic rules, or programmatic annotations — to guide latent space learning without requiring fully annotated data. It is widely applied in computer vision, NLP, and biomedical domains where complete ground-truth labels are expensive or unavailable.
