Deep Learning By Example

Denoising autoencoders

We can take the autoencoder architecture further by forcing it to learn more important features about the input data. By adding noise to the input images and having the original ones as the target, the model will try to remove this noise and learn important features about them in order to come up with meaningful reconstructed images in the output. This kind of CAE architecture can be used to remove noise from input images. This specific variation of autoencoders is called denoising autoencoder:

So let's start off by implementing ...
