Machine learning systems are often deployed in domains that entail data from multiple modalities, for example, phenotypic and genotypic characteristics describe patients in healthcare. Previous works have developed variational autoencoders (VAEs) that generate multimodal data. We consider surjective data, where single datapoints from one modality (such as labels) describe multiple datapoints from another modality (such as images). We theoretically and empirically demonstrate that multimodal VAEs with mixture of experts posterior can struggle to capture unimodal variability in surjective data.
