Like GANs, variational autoencoders (VAEs) are often used to generate images. However, VAEs add an additional promise: namely, to model an underlying latent space. Here, we first look at a typical implementation that maximizes the evidence lower bound. Then, we compare it to one of the more recent competitors, MMD-VAE, from the Info-VAE (information maximizing VAE) family.

We will cover often-overlooked concepts vital to NLP, such as Byte Pair Encoding, and discuss how understanding them leads to better models.
With the rapid advance in NLP models we have outpaced out ability to measure just how good they are at human level language tasks. We need better NLP datasets now more than ever to both evaluate how good these models are and to be able to tweak them for out own business domains.
