Rowel Atienza

Rowel Atienza is an Associate Professor at the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute of the University of the Philippines, Diliman. He holds the Dado and Maria Banatao Institute Professorial Chair in Artificial Intelligence. Rowel has been fascinated with intelligent robots since he graduated from the University of the Philippines. He received his MEng from the National University of Singapore for his work on an AI-enhanced four-legged robot. He finished his Ph.D. at The Australian National University for his contribution on the field of active gaze tracking for human-robot interaction. Rowel's current research work focuses on AI and computer vision. He dreams on building useful machines that can perceive, understand, and reason. To help make his dreams become real, Rowel has been supported by grants from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Samsung Research Philippines, and Commission on Higher Education-Philippine California Advanced Research Institutes (CHED-PCARI).

4. Conclusion

In this chapter, we've covered the principles of VAEs. As we learned in the principles of VAEs, they bear a resemblance to GANs from the point of view of both attempts to create synthetic outputs from latent space. However, it can be noticed that the VAE networks are much simpler and easier to train compared to GANs. It's becoming clear how CVAE and -VAE are similar in concept to conditional GANs and disentangled representation GANs, respectively.

VAEs have an intrinsic mechanism to disentangle the latent vectors. Therefore, building a -VAE is straightforward. We should note, however, that interpretable and disentangled codes are important in building intelligent agents.

In the next chapter, we're going to focus on reinforcement learning. Without any prior data, an agent learns by interacting with the world around it. We'll discuss how the agent can be rewarded for correct actions, and punished for the wrong ones.
