There are 6 modules in this course

In this module, we will explore the inner workings of Variational Auto-Encoders (VAEs) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), two powerful generative models. You'll gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills through hands-on exercises and demonstrations, specifically with the Fashion MNIST dataset. By the end, you'll be able to effectively understand and implement these models for generative tasks in deep learning.
