alt Hacker NewsForgotten from like 2021? NVAE[1] was a great paper but maybe four years is long enough to be forgotten in the AI space? shrug

They are both variational inference, but Normalizing Flow (NF) is not VAE.

Right, it is bizzare to read that someone "unearthed a forgotten AI technique" that you happened to have worked with/on when it was still hot - when did I become a fossil? :D
Also, if we're being nitpicky, diffusion model inference has been proven equivalent to (and is often used as) a particular NF so.. shrug
