Data Science/Dimensionality Reduction
IntroductionAutoencoders are unsupervised neural network models commonly used for tasks like dimensionality reduction and representation learning. In a typical autoencoder, the network is trained to minimize the reconstruction error between the input $ \mathbf{x} $ and its reconstruction $ \mathbf{x}' $. Both the encoder and decoder can be designed as single- or multi-layer networks. While a sym..
