> a lower-dimensional space that captures the essential features of the input data

ELI5: you can think of latent space as a map where similar pieces of data lives together

Navigating this is pretty hard, given that dimensionality of the feature space are usually a lot smaller comparing to the original [[thoughts/representations]] of the model.
