MONITORING DATA AGGREGATION OF DYNAMIC SYSTEMS USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES by Dmytro Shevchenko, Mykhaylo Ugryumov, Sergii Artiukh

“…Additionally, by training on different bottleneck sizes, you can determine the size at which the data is recovered best, which means that the most important variables are preserved. Looking at the results in general, the autoencoders work effectively for the dimensionality reduction task and the data recovery quality metric shows that they recover the data well with an error of 3–4 digits after 0. …”
