This article proposes a novel deep clustering model based on the variational autoencoder (VAE), named GamMM-VAE, which can learn latent representations of training data for clustering in an unsupervised manner. Most existing VAE-based deep clustering methods use the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) as a prior on the latent space. We employ a more flexible asymmetric Gamma mixture model to achieve higher quality embeddings of the data latent space.

In this study, we introduce an innovative method for load forecasting that capitalizes on the concept of task affinity score to measure the similarity between various tasks. The task affinity score emerges as a superior technique for assessing task similarity within the realm of transfer learning. Through empirical evaluation on a synthetic dataset, we establish the superiority of the task affinity score over traditional metrics in task selection scenarios.

The application of large field-of-view (FoV) cameras equipped with fish-eye lenses brings notable advantages to various real-world computer vision applications, including autonomous driving. While deep learning has proven successful in conventional computer vision applications using regular perspective images, its potential in fish-eye camera contexts remains largely unexplored due to limited datasets for fully supervised learning. Semi-supervised learning comes as a potential solution to manage this challenge.
