Recognizing user location with WiFi fingerprints is a popular method for accurate indoor positioning problems. In this work, we want to interpret WiFi fingerprints into actual user locations. However, the WiFi fingerprint data can be very high dimensional, we need to find a good representation of the input data for the learning task at first. Otherwise, the neural networks will suffer from sever overfitting problems. In this work, we solve this problem by combining the Information Bottleneck method and Variational Inference. Based on these two approaches, we propose a Variational Information Bottleneck model for accurate indoor positioning. The proposed model consists of an encoder structure and a predictor structure. The encoder is to find a good representation in the input data for the learning task. The predictor is to use the latent representation to predict the final output. To enhance the generalization of our model, we also adopt the Dropout technique for the each hidden layer of the decoder. We conduct the validation experiments on a real world dataset. We also compared the proposed model to other existing methods so as to quantify the performances of our method.
