This paper discusses an approach to the description of the structure of models capable of being trained to recognize representations of items of generative models—in particular, the architecture of a convolutional autoencoder is considered in detail. Reliable qualitative results of the operation of a convolutional encoder are also presented that show that it is valid to regard this model as generative because it is possible to implement output and sampling procedures, using as an example the solution of the problem of restoring images in missing regions.
