Autoencoders

Autoencoders are a type of artificial neural network used for unsupervised learning. They are designed to learn efficient codings of unlabeled data, typically for the purpose of dimensionality reduction.

Autoencoders

Areas of application

  • Anomaly Detection
  • Image Noise Reduction
  • Feature Learning/Extraction
  • Text Analysis
  • Data Compression
  • Image Generation
  • Data Decoding

Example

An example of an autoencoder is a neural network that takes a picture as input and learns to compress it into a lower-dimensional representation while preserving the most important features. This compressed representation can then be used for tasks such as image recognition or classification.
