What are common mistakes to avoid with Variational Autoencoders (VAEs)

Intermediate

Answer

A common mistake with Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) is applying it without fully understanding the underlying data or problem, which often leads to weak or misleading results. Skipping proper testing before relying on it in a real project is another frequent error.

Real-world example A variational autoencoder can generate new handwritten digit images that look similar to a training set of digits.
