Autoencoder input x, output y, not x_hat

Hello everyone,

what is the term for an autoencoder, that is trained not to reconstruct X, but to create another output y instead. I’ve heard the term somewhere, but can’t remember it.
For example the autoencoder the autoencoder is trained on the MNIST dataset not to reconstruct the given number X_hat, but to create an image of another number Y.
The loss function would be like that:
image

Hi @Arthur_Zakirov

Welcome to the TensorFlow Forum!

Could you please provide us some more details on the issue along with the reproducible code to replicate and understand the issue better?

Please refer to this Variational Autoencoder doc to see how the loss and optimizers are defined. Thank you.
