Encyclopedia > Autoencoder

An auto-encoder is an artificial neural network used for learning efficient codings. The aim of an auto-encoder is to learn a compressed representation (encoding) for a set of data. Auto-encoders use three layers: An artificial neural network (ANN) or commonly just neural network (NN) is an interconnected group of artificial neurons that uses a mathematical model or computational model for information processing based on a connectionist approach to computation. ...

  • An input layer. For example, in a face recognition task, the neurons in the input layer could map to pixels in the photograph.
  • A considerably smaller hidden layer, which will form the encoding.
  • An output layer, where each neuron has the same meaning as in the input layer.

If linear neurons are used, then an auto-encoder is very similar to PCA. PCA may stand for: Pacific Coast Academy (Zoey 101) Parti Communiste Algérien (Algerian Communist Party) Partido Comunista de Andalucía (Communist Party of Andalusia) Partido Comunista de Aragón (Communist Party of Aragon) Partido Comunista de la Argentina (Communist Party of Argentina) Pacific Coast Academy, the fictional school in...
