A deep-learning-based unsupervised model on esophageal manometry using variational autoencoder

作者:

Highlights:

• A variational auto-encoder was developed with 32-thousand swallows of manometry data.

• Generative capability was compared among models with different latent space and loss.

• Key motility patterns were found well-encoded by 4-dimensional latent variables.

• Discriminative analysis revealed clusters consistent with clinical impression.

• Understanding of swallow-level data will guide the development of study-level models.
