Encoder-decoder networks
AI/Deep learning/DL architectures composed of two paths, an encoding and a decoding one. AI/Deep learning/Autoencoders are similar but unsupervised (reconstructions loss). U-NETs are a type of encoder-decoder AI/Deep learning/CNNs model with skipped connections trained in a AI/Supervised Learning/Supervised learning context for image segmentation and related tasks. Very common models for semantic segmentation tasks
