This is a repository about Pytorch implementations of different Autoencoder variants on MNIST or CIFAR-10 dataset just for studing so training hyperparameters have not been well-tuned. The following models are going to be implemented:

• Fully-connected Autoencoder (Simple Autoencoder)
• Convolutional Autoencoder
• Sparse Autoencoder (L1 regularization)
• Sparse Autoencoder (KL divergence)
• Sparse Autoencoder Visualization
• Denoising Autoencoder
• Contractive Autoencoder
• Variational Autoencoder
• Sequence-to-Sequence Autoencoder
• Adversarial Autoencoder

Tensorflow version may be updated in the future.

Any advice would be appreciated :)

Here I will list some results recorded in my experiments or analysis just for simple comparisons between different autoencoder methods after 100 epochs training (I hope this may be helpful).

Sparse Autoencoder Visualization:

You can just find the autoencoder you want according to file names where the model is defined and simply run it. Data loader and some other methods are written in data_utils.py.

Pretrained autoencoders are saved in history directory and you can simply load them by setting TRAIN_SCRATCH flag in python file. Reconstruction results can be find in images directory.
