While classical approaches often rely on a hand coded data representation, the topic of autonomous representation or feature learning plays a major role in modern learning architectures. The goal of this contribution is to give an overview about different principles of autonomous feature learning, and to exemplify two principles based on two recent examples: autonomous metric learning for sequences, and autonomous learning of a deep representation for spoken language, respectively.Deep representationMetric learningRepresentation learningSpoken languageText/Journal Article1610-1987
