Historical context & research account

VQ-VAE learns a discrete codebook that compresses high-dimensional inputs into combinable representations. DALL·E, VQGAN and several autoregressive image models subsequently draw on the idea of visual tokens. The node concerns the representation of images in units that can participate in learned sequences and generative processes.
