Recall that supervised learning is when algorithms are trained off of labelled data. Each input passed into your model during training is a pair that includes the input object and its corresponding value. …

An auto-encoder is a sequential neural network, consisting of two components, the encoder and the decoder. Let’s say we were dealing with images. Our encoder would extract features from the image which would reduce some components like its height and width, but makes a latent representation for the image. …
