178 - An introduction to variational autoencoders (VAE)

[@cankoban]

As Einstein said “If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, you don't understand it yourself.” Very easy to understand thank you.

[@musicbytea9363]

Thank you for such a no math video. It's very rare to find videos with clear explanation for the intuition of the problem. Once we grab the idea, then the math seems more manageable. Thank you so much!

[@roshanpatel4037]

dude your channel is a gold mine, keep up the great work

[@DigitalSreeni]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@matthewmiller3653]

Incredible. Can't wait for future videos. Big fan as always.

[@DigitalSreeni]

More to come!

[@mdyounusahamed6668]

I have never heard a better explanation than this.

[@MM-op9vl]

I'm always watching your video with gratitude. I studied basic image processing like CLAHE and segmentation like U-net. Nowdays, I'm studying RetinaNet that is one of object detection. But some concepts of RetinaNet like anchor boxes and transfer learning difficult to me. So, if you have free time, it would be nice upload a video about this object detection. I always feel grateful you. Thanks

awesome stuff! i like the hesitant pause at “backpropgation” - oh i guess u know it if u r watching this hahaha

[@linhbui-vt1yz]

Thank you for the great intuitive explanation!

[@HandokoSupeno]

How can you explain this topic so elegantly and clearly. Thank you

[@veganath]

Was working my way through MIT Deep Learning Generative models 2024 and was stuck on the introduction of Epsilon for the Loss calculation, your instruction helped clarify many things, however, still trying to get my head around all this.

[@devanshsharma5159]

such a great explanation! Thank you so much :)

[@onurserce]

Thank you! Looking forward to the application!

[@DigitalSreeni]

Any time!

[@chenmingyang3271]

Thank you for your great video! I saw a lot of notes which introduced too much about mathematical parts but ignored to tell why and how we need to use VAE. Your video helps me to understand why we need to learn a desirable distribution of the latent vector.

[@DigitalSreeni]

You're very welcome!

[@zilaleizaldin1834]

Awsome! Really very useful explanation!

[@samarafroz9852]

Ohh finally I'm so glad you made tutorial on AAE please cover all aspects of AAE in image processing. Thanks so much you're best youtuber for image processing and deep learning. I'm your biggest fan just small request please take a bit more time in explaining code as I'm a biologist but interested in deep learning and image analysis. Thanks once again.

[@samarafroz9852]

Please make tutorial on image generation with AAE as well. 😊

[@DigitalSreeni]

Well, the next video covers image generation where we generate MNOST images. AAEs are slow so to generate real images you will need lot more resources but the concepts I cover should definitely help.

[@yashpisat9267]

@@DigitalSreeni Can we use VAE to augment Spectrum data?

[@RENJIS-on7cp]

Very informative video Sir. Thank you very much.

[@sivanschwartz3813]

Thank you for the great intuitive explanation! was looking for a video of this kind!

[@michaelmoore7568]

How do I learn what number to set the artificial neurons in each layer? i'm super confused.

[@AmusedAtom-hh4pt]

GOLD, nice explanation

[@zakariaabderrahmanesadelao3048]

Thanks

[@DigitalSreeni]

Thank you very much, please keep learning.

[@gorgolyt]

This is all great, I think my one quibble is that you are perhaps using a slightly nonstandard definition of "generative". Usually it means that we are modelling the distribution of the input space, and can therefore sample ("generate") new realistic inputs. For exactly the reasons you state, standard autoencoders don't do this, and therefore by definition are not generative models. Yes they can "generate" things but those things don't represent the input space and will probably be a "meaningless" mess. Whereas with variational autoencoders, they do model the input space and can therefore generate "realistic" inputs, so they are generative models.

[@andreabettani1457]

Amazing video, thank you

[@KUMAR-ne2mb]

What is this cluster x and y axis??

[@salahaldeen1751]

Great explination! thank you so much

[@mrinalde]

Thank you. Very nicely explained. Go packers :)

[@gurwindergill6732]

Totel types of autoencoder?

[@minhakhan3496]

Omg so helpful, thank you.

[@momfadda]

REALY GREAT VIDEO IS THERE CODE FOR OTHER DATASET LIKE MRI IMAGES ?

[@cptechno]

QUESTION CONCERNING VAE! Using VAE with images, we currently start by compressing an image into the latent space and reconstructing from the latent space. QUESTION: What if we start with the photo of adult human, say a man or woman 25 years old (young adult) and we rebuild to an image of the same person but at a younger age, say man/woman at 14 years old (mid-teen). Do you see where I'm going with this? Can we create a VAE to make the face younger from 25 years (young adult) to 14 years (mid-teen)? In more general term, can VAE be used with non-identity function?

[@sepeslurdes1918]

For what you are proposing you can even use 'standard' autoencoders.. Check this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6uupoysn6t5iZo
