An application of VAE (Variational Auto Encoder) to encode and generate pictures of Pokemon.
The dataset contains 851 pictures of Pokemon with a size of 256x256.
The Encoder and Decoder architecture is based on this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1610.00291.pdf
Beta value for KL Divergence can be set to >1 for Beta-VAE application.
Below are examples made using Beta = 0.5, LATENT_DIM = 256, and linear interpolation between the latent representation of 2 images.
