Question about the data labels y in unsupervised learning

[lindazha0]

Hi,

I am trying to run your framework on my own unlabeled dataset.
However, as I looked into your code of the unsupervised section, I see in your get_embedding() function implemented in the encoder, you use data.y where y is the dataset label, which I don't understand. How could the dataset of unsupervised learning be externally labeled?

Thanks!

Hi @lindazha0,
I was wondering if you could find an answer to your question. I am questioning the same thing.
Many thanks!

I believe data.y is only used during evaluation
