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
The encoder maps input data to a latent space, extracting meaningful representations
from the input.
2 Sampling
A sampling step takes place, introducing randomness to the latent space to allow for
generation of diverse outputs.
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

any necessary dependencies. implement the necessary training loop to optimize the
layers. model's performance.
Functionalities of VAEs
• Dimensionality Reduction: VAEs effectively reduce the dimensionality of
input data, allowing for more efficient processing and analysis.
• Generative Modeling: VAEs learn to generate new samples that follow
the underlying distribution of the training data.
• Anomaly Detection: Utilize the reconstructed error between the input and
the output to detect anomalous patterns in data.
