Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll utilize unlabeled data and unsupervised machine learning techniques to build and train data generative models. You’ll employ generative modeling, such as a variational autoencoder (VAE) that can generate new images by sampling from the latent distribution. You’ll then use an unsupervised generative adversarial network to generate new images.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
