Subject : Variational inference and genarative networks

I've been trying to grasp the ideas behind Variational auto encoders (Kingma et al) vs normalized flows (E.G RealNVP)

If someone can explain the link between the two I'd be thankful! Aren't they trying to do the same thing?

Haha I'm sure u will get some good advice! I would say 1. Enjoy the trip 2. If you are aiming postdocs time to do some networking. 3. Enjoy the free food! 4. If you don't understand much about what other papers are about don't stress 😊
