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.

Introduction Heavy computation is a well-known problem in various ML algorithms today, especially when generative AI is applied to text, images, and other unstructured data. One of the principal approaches to mitigate this problem is to compress input data into a lower-dimensional representation while preserving the main context.

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.
