From MLE to an Introduction to AE·VAE | TTD Diffusion Lecture Available for Free

In fact, artificial neural networks were outputting distributions! We’re making the introductory section on MLE, AE, and VAE from TTD: To The Diffusion available for free. Understand neural network outputs and loss functions through maximum likelihood estimation, then connect PCA and autoencoders to latent-variable-based image generation and why VAEs are necessary. A total of 5 lessons, approximately 2 hours and 26 minutes.
