Question 4

+3 marksNumerical answer

Consider the following dataset where each data point consists of three features x1,x2x_1, x_2 and x3x_3 as

(2,4,3),(5,5,6),(2,2,1),(4,4,6)(2, 4, 3), (5, 5, 6), (2, 2, 1), (4, 4, 6)

Suppose the encoder and decoder functions, ff and gg respectively, are defined as

f(x1,x2,x3)=0.5x1+0.5x2−x3andg(u)=[u,u,u].f(x_1, x_2, x_3) = 0.5x_1 + 0.5x_2 - x_3 \quad \text{and} \quad g(u) = [u, u, u].

Find the reconstruction loss.

Hint : “The reconstruction loss of the encoder decoder pair is the mean of the squared distance between the actual input and reconstructed input.”
