Reconstruction results (best seen when zoomed in). Figure 1: (a) Input on the left and reconstructed image on the right for CelebA HQ 256. We would like to thank all the reviewers for positive and constructive feedback. Reconstruction: The reconstructed images in NV AE are indistinguishable from the training images (see Figure 1(a)). GANs are perhaps less prone to this, as they may drop modes without being penalized. Is the data conditioned on all zz z's: 's in their log space, and we limit Training curves: Figure 1 in the supplementary material demonstrates training stability with spectral regularization.
