Now we will learn how autoencoders reconstruct handwritten digits using the MNIST dataset. First, let's import the necessary libraries:

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')

import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf

from tensorflow.keras.models import Model
from tensorflow.keras.layers import Input, Dense
tf.logging.set_verbosity(tf.logging.ERROR)

#plotting
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline

#dataset
from tensorflow.keras.datasets import mnist
