Deep learning often begins with data that has many coordinates.
An ordinary autoencoder compresses information by forcing the latent representation to have fewer dimensions than the input.
A denoising autoencoder learns to recover a clean input from a corrupted version of that input.
A variational autoencoder, or VAE, is a generative latent variable model trained with neural networks.
Latent space manipulation studies how to change a learned representation $z$ in order to produce controlled changes in the decoded output. In an autoencoder, the encoder maps an input into a latent vector,
Representation learning is the study of how models learn useful internal descriptions of data.
