Neural losses reshape VAE latent spaces, reducing information content

Researchers have demonstrated how different neural loss functions impact the latent space of Variational Autoencoders (VAEs). They found that using perceptual and adversarial losses, in addition to standard reconstruction losses, reduces the information content within the latent representations. Furthermore, these neural losses alter the latent space geometry, making representations more isotropic and distributing uncertainty more evenly across dimensions. AI
