Introduction to VAEs
VAEs are a class of generative models that can learn data representations by utilizing the power of both
encoding and decoding. Let's dive into what makes VAEs so remarkable.
Why are VAEs Important in
Machine Learning?
VAEs enable us to generate new samples from a learned distribution,
making them useful for tasks such as image generation, data augmentation,
and anomaly detection. Let's explore why they are considered a
breakthrough in machine learning.
How do VAEs Work?
1 Encoder
2 Sampling
3 Decoder
The decoder reconstructs data from the latent space, generating new
samples similar to the input data.
Implementing VAEs in PyTorch
Setting up the Constructing the Training the VAE
Environment VAE Model using PyTorch
Get started by configuring your Build the architecture of the Train the VAE model using
development environment with VAE model, define the encoder PyTorch. Define the loss
PyTorch and any necessary and decoder, and implement function, optimizer, and the
dependencies. the necessary layers. training loop to optimize the
model's performance.
Functionalities of VAEs
Dimensionality Reduction: VAEs effectively reduce the dimensionality of
input data, allowing for more efficient processing and analysis.
Explore different architectural choices for VAE models, such as convolutional, recurrent,
or transformer-based models.
