Sparsifying autoencoders
Started Nov. 3, 2023
Abstract or project description
Andy will study how to train auto encoders in order to optimally compress information into low dimensional representations. This will involve studying sparsifying regularizers (e.g., L1 penalties), as well as understanding details of gradient-based optimization of neural networks. He will consider different approaches and evaluate in what sense they affect information compression and recovery.
