1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Reversibility in artificial neural networks allows us to retrieve the input given an output. We present feature alignment, a method for approximating reversibility in arbitrary neural networks. We train a network by minimizing the distance between the output of a data point and the random output with respect to a random input. We applied the technique to the MNIST, CIFAR-10, CelebA, and STL-10 image datasets. We demonstrate that this method can roughly recover images from just their latent representation without the need of a decoder. By utilizing the formulation of variational autoencoders, we demonstrate that it is possible to produce new images that are statistically comparable to the training data. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the quality of the images can be improved by coupling a generator and a discriminator together. In addition, we show how this method, with a few minor modifications, can be used to train networks locally, which has the potential to save computational memory resources.
