We propose Pretrained Reversible Generation (PRG), a novel framework for extracting unsupervised representations by reversing the generation process of pretrained sequential generative models. Unlike conventional generative classifiers, PRG leverages the high capacity of pretrained generative models to build a robust and generalizable feature extractor. It enables flexible feature hierarchy selection for specific subtasks and outperforms existing approaches on various benchmarks (e.g., achieving 78% top-1 accuracy on ImageNet 64x64 resolution). We validate the effectiveness of our approach through extensive experiments and out-of-distribution evaluations.
Takeaways, Limitations
•
Takeaways:
◦
We present a novel method to build robust feature extractors for subtasks by effectively reusing pre-trained generative models.
◦
Flexible feature hierarchy selection to suit specific subtasks.
◦
Achieving cutting-edge performance across a range of benchmarks.
◦
Contributes to improving the performance of generative model-based methodologies.
•
Limitations:
◦
The paper does not mention specific Limitations. Further research is needed to identify Limitations or room for improvement in practical applications.
◦
There may be some dependencies on a specific generative model (further research is needed to determine whether it is applicable to all generative models)
