We thank the reviewers for their insightful comments. We first clarify our approach and then address specific concerns. Note that encoder and decoder share weights. We encourage the reviewers to check the supplementary material, with code and visualizations of our decoding strategy. Evaluating generative models is an open problem, e.g., log-likelihood does not correlate In our case, neither L2 nor log-likelihood can capture "realistic" L2-loss for the basketball dataset, but note that NAOMI ( 0.013) still outperforms SingleRes ( 0.040).
