Measured effects reported in the paper
| What was changed | Where | Measured | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| add lightweight local autoregressive model to reconstruction distribution | MatNet on CIFAR 10 · CIFAR 10 | bits per pixel | Helped |
| Gaussian reconstruction without autoregression on CIFAR 10 | MatNet · CIFAR 10 | bits per pixel | No clear effect |
| place GMM prior over top latent z0 with no label information | MatNet on Omniglot · Omniglot | qualitative class structure | Helped |
| regularize inference model by maximizing free-energy on model samples (Eqn. 13) | MatNet on MNIST and Omniglot · MNIST, Omniglot | test NLL | Helped |
