Autoencoders

Autoencoders are more flexible than PCA, capable of representing both linear and nonlinear transformations, while PCA is limited to linear transformations. They are useful for applications such as feature learning, dimensionality reduction, and information retrieval, often outperforming PCA in these tasks. A 2006 study highlighted their effectiveness in producing interpretable representations and well-separated clusters.

AUTOENCODERS

• More flexible when compared to PCA

• Can represent both linear and nonlinear transformation but

PCA can represent only linear transformation


Applications of Autoencoders

Feature learning
• Good features can be obtained in the hidden layer
Dimensionality reduction
• For example, a 2006 study resulted in better results than PCA, with the
representation easier to interpret and the categories manifested as well-
separated clusters
Information retrieval
• A task that benefits more than usual from dimensionality reduction is the
information retrieval task of finding entries in a database that resemble a
