Learning Multi-Layer Latent Variable Model via Variational Optimization of Short Run MCMC for Approximate Inference

Short-run MCMC residual network outperforms a variational autoencoder in regard to image reconstruction error and image synthesis quality, while not requiring the design of a separate inference network

Topology Adaptive Snakes Improve Mask Generation for Image Inpainting

T-snake deformable models, which can segment complex-shaped structures, improve generated masks passed to GAN for image inpainting
