Normalizing flows learn a diffeomorphic mapping between the target and base distribution, while the Jacobian determinant of that mapping forms another real-valued function. In this paper, we show that the Jacobian determinant mapping is…

The latent space of normalizing flows must be of the same dimensionality as their output space. This constraint presents a problem if we want to learn low-dimensional, semantically meaningful representations. Recent work has provided…
