Variational Autoencoders with Normalizing Flow Decoders
Recently proposed normalizing flow models such as Glow have been shown to be able to generate high quality, high dimensional images with relatively fast sampling speed. Due to their inherently restrictive architecture, however, it is necessary that they are excessively deep in order to train effectively. In this paper we propose to combine Glow with an underlying variational autoencoder in order to counteract this issue. We demonstrate that our proposed model is competitive with Glow in terms of image quality and test likelihood while requiring far less time for training.

Generalized Normalizing Flows via Markov Chains
Normalizing flows, diffusion normalizing flows and variational autoencoders are powerful generative models. This chapter provides a unified framework to handle these approaches via Markov chains. We consider stochastic n…
