Question 6
Which of the following is incorrect for the reparametrization trick used in a Variational AutoEncoder (VAE)?
This technique is used, since the expected reconstruction error requires estimation by sampling which has very high variance.
It can be applied to any “location-scale” family of distributions where the location (mean) and scale (variance) of the standard version is 0 and 1.
The reparametrization trick is applicable to continuous distributions as well as discrete distributions.
It allows the random variable to be expressed as a different transformation of auxiliary variables which helps the gradient estimation with only one sample
