Perfect Reconstruction Cannot Show Whether Two Codebooks on a VAE's Latent Space Agree
Yusuke Hayashi
Many systems read the latent space of a variational autoencoder (VAE) as discrete codes, and rely on each latent being read back as the code it was written as. Shannon (1948) took…

Lost and Found in Translation: Variational Diagnostics for Neural Codebook Channels
Yusuke Hayashi
Classical communication systems fail not only through random noise but also when transmitter and receiver use incompatible operational codebooks. Variational autoencoders (VAEs) tr…
