Autoencoder is a neural network whose goal is to produce an output identical to an input. For example, if you pass a picture into it, it should return the same picture on the other end. This seems... not complicated! But the trick is the special architecture—its inner layers have fewer neurons than input and output layers, usually with some extreme bottleneck in the middle. The layer before the bottleneck is called encoder and the layer after it is called decoder network. The encoder converts the input into some inner representation and the decoder then restores the data to its original form. During training, the network must figure out how to compress the input data most effectively and then un-compress it with the least possible information loss. This architecture can also be employed to train neural networks, which change input data in a way we want them to. For example, autoencoders have been successfully used to remove noise from images.

You're reading from Machine Learning with Swift
Jojo Moolayil is a data scientist, living in Bengaluru—the silicon valley of India. With over
4 years of industrial experience in Decision Science and IoT, he has worked with industry leaders on high impact and critical projects across multiple verticals. He is currently associated with GE, the pioneer and leader in data science for Industrial IoT.
Jojo was born and raised in Pune, India and graduated from University of Pune with a
major in information technology engineering. With a vision to solve problems at scale, Jojo found solace in decision science and learnt to solve a variety of problems across multiple industry verticals early in his career. He started his career with Mu Sigma Inc., the world's largest pure play analytics provider where he worked with the leaders of many fortune 50 clients. With the passion to solve increasingly complex problems, Jojo touch based with Internet of Things and found deep interest in the very promising area of consumer and industrial IoT. One of the early enthusiasts to venture into IoT analytics, Jojo converged his learnings from decision science to bring the problem solving frameworks and his learnings from data and decision science to IoT.
To cement his foundations in industrial IoT and scale the impact of the problem solving
experiments, he joined a fast growing IoT Analytics startup called Flutura based in
Bangalore and headquartered in the valley. Flutura focuses exclusively on Industrial IoT
and specializes in analytics for M2M data. It is with Flutura, where Jojo reinforced his
problem solving skills for M2M and Industrial IoT while working for the world's leading
manufacturing giant and lighting solutions providers. His quest for solving problems at
scale brought the 'product' dimension in him naturally and soon he also ventured into
developing data science products and platforms.
After a short stint with Flutura, Jojo moved on to work with the leaders of Industrial IoT,
that is, G.E. in Bangalore, where he focused on solving decision science problems for
Industrial IoT use cases. As a part of his role in GE, Jojo also focuses on developing data
science and decision science products and platforms for Industrial IoT.
