Lets look at some of its Hyperparameters Autoencoder Specific <l2st> Compression factor (Latent space size) Loss function (mse?) </l2st> Neural Network architecture <l2st> Number of layers Number of neurons in each layer (Shape of the matrices $A_n$) </l2st> Optimisation parameters <l2st> Learning Rate <l3st> Controls how fast the parameters are found To high value makes the training unstable </l3st> Batch size <l3st> Controls how many samples are averaged together. Lower values make the training more stable, but also the result less optimal </l3st> </l2st>
