Variational Autoencoders - EXPLAINED!
Channel: CodeEmporium
Date: 2019-06-17

In this video, we are going to talk about Generative Modeling with Variational Autoencoders (VAEs). The explanation is going to be simple to understand without a math (or even much tech) background. However, I also introduce more technical concepts for you nerds out there while comparing VAEs with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs).
