3D Scene Compression through Entropy Penalized Neural Representation Functions
Thomas Bird, Johannes Ballé, Saurabh Singh +1
Some forms of novel visual media enable the viewer to explore a 3D scene from arbitrary viewpoints, by interpolating between a discrete set of original views. Compared to 2D imager…
HiLLoC: Lossless Image Compression with Hierarchical Latent Variable Models
James Townsend, Thomas Bird, Julius Kunze +1
We make the following striking observation: fully convolutional VAE models trained on 32x32 ImageNet can generalize well, not just to 64x64 but also to far larger photographs, with…
Practical Lossless Compression with Latent Variables using Bits Back Coding
James Townsend, Tom Bird, David Barber
Deep latent variable models have seen recent success in many data domains. Lossless compression is an application of these models which, despite having the potential to be highly u…
Stochastic Variational Optimization
Thomas Bird, Julius Kunze, David Barber
Variational Optimization forms a differentiable upper bound on an objective. We show that approaches such as Natural Evolution Strategies and Gaussian Perturbation, are special cas…
