Autoencoders

This chapter introduces the autoencoder model by explaining the relationship between encoding and decoding layers. We will be showcasing a model that belongs to the unsupervised learning family. This chapter also introduces a loss function commonly associated with the autoencoder model, and it also applies it to the dimensionality reduction of MNIST data and its visualization in an autoencoder-induced latent space.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Introduction to unsupervised learning
  • Encoding and decoding layers
  • Applications in dimensionality reduction and visualization
  • Ethical implications of unsupervised learning
