Visualizing Population Structure with Variational Autoencoders
2020-08-13
Abstract excerpt
Dimensionality reduction is a common tool for visualization and inference of population structure from genotypes, but popular methods either return too many dimensions for easy plotting (PCA) or fail to preserve global geometry (t-SNE and UMAP). Here we explore the utility of variational autoencoders (VAEs) – generative machine learning models in which a pair of neural networks seek to first compress and then recr...
