How to Build Variational Autoencoder and Generate Images in Python

     Classical autoencoder simply learns how to encode input and decode the output based on given data using in between randomly generated latent space layer. By using this method we can not increase the model training ability by updating parameters in learning.

    The variational autoencoders, on the other hand, apply some statistical findings by using learned mean and standard deviations to learn the distribution. The latent space mean and variance are kept to update in each layer and this helps to improve the generator model.

    

    In this tutorial, we'll learn how to build the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) and generate the images with Keras in Python. The tutorial covers:

1. Preparing the data
2. Defining the encoder
3. Defining decoder
   
4. Defining the VAE model
5. Generating images

Regression Example with Nu Support Vector Regression Method in Python

   Based on support vector machines method, Nu Support Vector Regression (NuSVR) is an algorithm to solve the regression problems. The NuSVR algorithm applies nu parameter by replacing the the epsilon parameter of SVR method. The Scikit-learn explains that the parameter nu is an upper bound on the fraction of training errors and a lower bound of the fraction of support vectors¹.

Classification Example with Linear SVC in Python

   The Linear Support Vector Classifier (SVC) method applies a linear kernel function to perform classification and it performs well with a large number of samples. If we compare it with the SVC model, the Linear SVC has additional parameters such as penalty normalization which applies 'L1' or 'L2' and loss function. The kernel method can not be changed in linear SVC, because it is based on the kernel linear method.
