Turbo Autoencoder: Deep learning based channel codes for point-to-point communication channels

Autoencoder is a powerful unsupervised learning framework to learn latent representations by minimizing reconstruction loss of the input data [1]. Autoencoders have been widely used in unsupervised learning tasks such as representation learning [1] [2], denoising [3], and generative model [4][5]. Most autoencoders are under-complete autoencoders, for which the latent space is smaller than the input data [2]. Over-complete autoencoders have latent space larger than input data.
