While taking the fast.ai course, I was learning about Variational Autoencoders (VAE) and began to wonder:

Is it possible to represent the latent space as an image, and then reconstruct the original image from that representation?

Hopefully we can get some meaningful wins on mobile web performance.

Definitely see that happening
