[1605.08803] Density estimation using Real NVP • /r/MachineLearning

Tbh this paper is a growth/extension/reworking of NICE, which was directly cited as key background work by Normalizing Flows. So it is a bit weird to dismiss this so directly since NICE, Normalizing Flows, and Real NVP are all continuations of the same line of work from different people (IMO). Also this paper has extensive results on large scale generation tasks, versus the mostly theoretical contributions of Normalizing Flows. I am a big fan of this whole line of work!
