L Ardizzone, J Kruse, S Wirkert, D Rahner… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
In many tasks, in particular in natural science, the goal is to determine hidden system
parameters from a set of measurements. Often, the forward process from parameter-to …

Invertible image rescaling

M **ao, S Zheng, C Liu, Y Wang, D He, G Ke… - Computer Vision–ECCV …, 2020 - Springer
High-resolution digital images are usually downscaled to fit various display screens or save
the cost of storage and bandwidth, meanwhile the post-upscaling is adopted to recover the …

Why deep generative modeling?

JM Tomczak - Deep Generative Modeling, 2024 - Springer
Before we start thinking about (deep) generative modeling, let us consider a simple
example. Imagine we have trained a deep neural network that classifies images (x∈ ℤ D) of …
