Vq Vae

Vector-Quantized Variational Autoencoders (VQ-VAEs) are a class of deep learning models aiming to learn discrete representations of data, enabling efficient compression, generation, and analysis. Current research focuses on improving VQ-VAE's adaptability to varying data scales and rates, enhancing their performance in specific applications like human motion synthesis and image reconstruction, and developing robust variants that are less susceptible to outliers or noise. These advancements are significantly impacting fields such as computer vision, natural language processing, and healthcare through improved data efficiency, enhanced generative capabilities, and more reliable feature extraction for downstream tasks.
