Binary function?

Open MrGranddy opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I tried to understand why did you put this Binary layer between encoder and decoder. I mean are you trying to create a map of positive values? If this is the case, I am not sure if restricting them will work better than just freeing them up, also wouldn't using something like x[x > 0] or something be simpler?

Hi @MrGranddy, apologies for delayed response. I haven't really taken a look at this code for a long time. If I remember correctly, I was trying to map the latent vectors to some binary space and then decode the input from there. So, it's not just positive values but specifically 0s and 1s. Hope this helps. :)
