What is the purpose of the weights 𝑊!!, 𝑊!$, and 𝑊$! in an autoencoder?
What is the purpose of the weights 𝑊!!, 𝑊!$, and 𝑊$! in an autoencoder?
The weights connect the input nodes to the nodes in the first and second layers, respectively.
What is the effect of using L1 loss instead of L2 loss in an autoencoder?
What is the effect of using L1 loss instead of L2 loss in an autoencoder?
L1 loss would result in a different type of regularization, which may lead to different optimization dynamics and possibly a different reconstruction performance.
What is one way to regularize an autoencoder?
What is one way to regularize an autoencoder?
Adding another dense layer with softmax and retraining the network, while keeping the encoder fixed.
