Chapter 2. Intro to generative modeling with autoencoders

This chapter covers

Encoding data into a latent space (dimensionality reduction) and subsequent dimensionality expansion
Understanding the challenges of generative modeling in the context of a variational autoencoder
Generating handwritten digits by using Keras and autoencoders
Understanding the limitations of autoencoders and motivations for GANs

I dedicate this chapter to my grandmother, Aurelie Langrova, who passed away as we were finishing the work on it. She will be missed dearly.

You might be wondering why we chose to include this chapter in the book. There are three core reasons:

Generative models are a new area for most. Most people who come across machine learning ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
