It&amp;#x27;s quite important to emphasise the dichotomy between the 2 current approaches in the image synthesis today. 1. Implicit distribution learning - VAE or autoregressive based techniques 2. Explicit learning of the distribution - GAN based models. The way these two model the distribution is fundamentally different. Fundamentally, GAN presents huge drawbacks when it comes to the actual inference during the synthesis. There have been dozens of models with workarounds but most of these…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1906.00446/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
