Variational AutoEncoders and Image Generation with Keras

Variational AutoEncoders and Image Generation with Keras

This article focuses on giving the readers some basic understanding of the Variational Autoencoders and explaining how they are different from the ordinary autoencoders in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Unlike vanilla autoencoders(like-sparse autoencoders, de-noising autoencoders ..etc), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) are generative models like GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks). This article is primarily focused on the Variational Autoencoders and… Read More »

Convolutional Denoising Autoencoders for image noise reduction

Convolutional Denoising Autoencoders for image noise reduction

Autoencoders are unsupervised Deep Learning techniques that are extensively used for dimensionality reduction, latent feature learning (Learning Representations), and also as generative models (Generative Adversarial Networks: GANs). Denoising Autoencoders are slight modifications to the vanilla autoencoders that can be used for reducing noise from real-world noisy datasets. In this tutorial, we will investigate Convolutional Denoising Autoencoders to reduce… Read More »

1D-CNN based Fully Convolutional Model for Handwriting Recognition

Handwriting

Handwriting Recognition also termed as HTR(Handwritten Text Recognition) is a machine learning method that aims at giving the machines an ability to read human handwriting from real-world documents(images). The traditional Optical Character Recognition systems(OCR systems) are trained to understand the variations and font-styles in the machine-printed text(from documents/images) and they work really well in practice(example-Tesseract). Handwriting Recognition on… Read More »

OpenCV: Introduction and Simple Tricks in Python

OpenCV

OpenCV-AI-toolkit was first introduced nearly 20 years ago(in 1999) by Intel Research and it is getting richer and better every year since then. OpenCV was primarily written in C++ language but has bindings for Python, Java, and MATLAB that makes it easy to integrate into different ML/AI projects. You will find almost every Computer Vision(Computer Graphics based) project… Read More »
