Could We Choose a New Code and Obtain a Plausible Example?

Part 1 of 3

An ordinary autoencoder can give each training example a code, but that does not tell us where to choose a new code for generation. Unused regions between familiar codes may decode poorly. We need a model of how the hidden codes themselves are distributed.
