14 Latent space and generative modeling, autoencoders, and variational autoencoders

This chapter covers

Representing inputs with latent vectors
Geometrical view, smoothness, continuity, and regularization for latent spaces
PCA and linear latent spaces
Autoencoders and reconstruction loss
Variational autoencoders (VAEs) and regularizing latent spaces

Mapping input vectors to a transformed space is often beneficial in machine learning. The transformed vector is called a latent vector—latent because it is not directly observable—while the input is the underlying observed vector. The latent vector (aka embedding) is a simpler representation of the input vector where only features that help accomplish the ultimate goal (such as estimating the probability ...

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.
