ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Latent space

Latent space is like a secret closet of possibilities. It's a kind of imaginary place where scientists can store different ideas, like building blocks. The idea is that these blocks can be put together in different ways to create something new and exciting. For example, scientists use the latent space to come up with new robots that could look like animals, new materials that we can use in buildings and cars, and new medicines that could help fight diseases.
