| | In my previous post about generative adversarial networks, I went over a simple method to training a network that could generate realistic-looking images. However, there were a couple of downsides to using a plain GAN. First, the images are generated off some arbitrary noise. If you wanted to generate a

| I have recently become fascinated with (Variational) Autoencoders and with PyTorch. Kevin Frans has a beautiful blog post online explaining variational autoencoders, with examples in TensorFlow and, importantly, with cat pictures. Jaan Altosaar's blog post takes an even deeper look at VAEs from both the deep learning perspective and the perspective of graphical models. Both of these posts, as well as Diederik Kingma's original 2014 paper Auto-Encoding Variational Bayes, are more than worth your time.
