Generative AI Models

Welcome to the Generative AI Models repository.

Implemented Models

1. Variational Autoencoder (VAE)

The VAE is a generative model that learns to encode data into a latent space and decode it back to the original space, facilitating data generation.

Reference Paper:

• Auto-Encoding Variational Bayes — Diederik P. Kingma and Max Welling (ICLR 2014)

---

2. Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder (VQ-VAE)

VQ-VAE introduces discrete latent variables using vector quantization, which addresses "posterior collapse" in traditional VAEs.

Reference Paper:

• Neural Discrete Representation Learning — Aaron van den Oord, Oriol Vinyals, and Koray Kavukcuoglu (NeurIPS 2017)

---

3. Attention-based VAE

This variant integrates attention mechanisms into the VAE framework to enhance the model's ability to focus on relevant parts of the input during encoding and decoding.

Models Under Development

4. Diffusion Models

Diffusion models are generative models that learn to generate data by reversing a gradual noising process, resulting in high-quality sample generation.

Reference Paper:

• Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models — Jonathan Ho, Ajay Jain, and Pieter Abbeel (NeurIPS 2020)

---

5. Consistency Models

Consistency models enable fast one-step generation without adversarial training by mapping noise directly to data.

Reference Paper:

• Consistency Models — Yang Song et al. (2023)

---

6. Flow Matching Models

Flow Matching models offer a simulation-free approach for training continuous normalizing flows by directly estimating a vector field that generates the data distribution.

Reference Paper:

• Flow Matching for Generative Modeling — Yaron Lipman et al. (ICLR 2023)
