Autoencoders in Action

Learn how to implement autoencoders effectively through hands-on steps, including image reconstruction and practical experimentation in a dynamic environment.

We’ll explore the fascinating world of autoencoders by applying them to the MNIST dataset. Autoencoders are powerful models that consist of an encoder and a decoder. The encoder compresses input images while the decoder reconstructs them. Our focus will be on image reconstruction.

Target: Using PyTorch, we’ll train an autoencoder model to reduce 784 input values to a lower-dimensional representation as low as possible.

By doing so, we aim to investigate whether this condensed representation preserves the same level of informativeness as the original features.
