Latent space
The space of an autoencoder's codes; image generators like Stable Diffusion work there instead of on pixels.

Each use leans on a different part: the code, the reconstruction, or the error.

Other terms from the same lesson
- autoencoder: A network trained to reconstruct its own input through a narrow middle layer, which learns a compressed code of the data.
- reconstruction error: How far an autoencoder's output is from its input; high for items unlike the data it trained on, which makes it an anomaly score.
