Generate a grid of synthetic digits and explore how the output morphs.
- Choose a “Number” (or Auto) to sample from.
- Click “Generate” to refresh the grid.
- Open “Extra settings” to adjust seed, dim, grid density, and distortion level.
- Generate again to compare how settings change the outputs.

STAR Summary
- Situation
- I wanted to generate new handwritten digits, not just recognize them.
- Task
- Owned the end-to-end build, from implementation through the final deliverable.
- Action
-
- Trained a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) on MNIST (60,000 training digits) with a 20-dim latent space for up to 100 epochs.
- Result
-
- Generated new digits by sampling the learned latent space.
- Saved the trained model so generation is a quick inference step.
