Autoencoders With PyTorch and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)
This tutorial covers the concepts of autoencoders, denoising encoders, and variational autoencoders (VAE) with PyTorch, as well as generative adversarial networks and code. It is a part of the Advanced energy based models modules of the the Deep Learning Course at NYU's Center for Data Science. Prerequisites for this course include: Energy-Based Models I, Energy-Based Models II, Energy-Based Models III, Energy-Based Models IV, Energy-Based Models V, and an Introduction to Data Science or a Graduate Level Machine Learning course.
