Variational Autoencoder Layer

arXiv:2606. 25900v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) belong to a family of autoencoders with probabilistic properties, making them well suited for generating data by producing a smooth and continuous latent space.

On the Diffusibility of High-Dimensional Latents

The paper investigates how fine‑tuning pretrained visual encoders for faithful image reconstruction affects diffusion models that operate in the resulting latent space. It finds that such fine‑tuning reduces the effective dimensionality of the latent representation, causing standard velocity‑prediction flow‑matching to fit noise outside the low‑dimensional signal manifold and making optimization inefficient. Consequently, the authors propose using a clean‑data ($oldsymbol{x}_{0}$) parameterization, which focuses learning on the signal manifold and consistently improves text‑to‑image generation across multiple strong‑reconstruction encoders.

Variational Autoencoder Layer

Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) belong to a family of autoencoders with probabilistic properties, making them well suited for generating data by producing a smooth and continuous latent space. Despite being introduced over a decade ago, the method continues to be widely adopted in both research and industry for diverse applications.
