arXiv:2606. 28854v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The common factor analytic model is related to Helmholtz and Boltzmann machines, can be conceived as a linear autoencoder, or can be thought of as a single-hidden-layer generative neural network.

arXiv:2602. 13421v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Computation in biological systems is fundamentally energy-constrained, yet standard theories of computation treat energy as freely available.

arXiv:2606. 07120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoencoders (AEs) learn low-dimensional representations by mapping data into a latent space while minimizing reconstruction error.

arXiv:2607. 01275v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) commonly assume a standard isotropic Gaussian prior over the latent space, an assumption that often fails to capture the true distribution of latent representations for complex datasets.

arXiv:2607. 23751v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The usefulness of a variational autoencoder (VAE) depends on two properties of its latent space that are hard to obtain together: high encoding capacity in the individual latent variables, and a low-dimensional, disentangled organization of those variables.

arXiv:2607. 05531v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) frequently suffer from posterior collapse, a failure mode in which the approximate posterior converges to the prior, rendering the latent code uninformative.
