Reviews: Implicit Generation and Modeling with Energy Based Models

Neural Information Processing Systems 

Originality: Many, if not, all of the techniques have been previously proposed. However, to the best of my knowledge, combining these techniques to scale energy-based models to modern deep network architectures is a novel contribution. Energy-based models are far less popular than other forms of generative models. While some recent energy-based approaches exist (e.g. Quality: The paper is thorough.
