NVAE Generative Residual Cell
NVAE Generative Residual Cell
The **NVAE Generative Residual Cell** is a skip connection block used as part of the [NVAE](https://paperswithcode.com/method/nvae) architecture for the generator. The residual cell expands the number of channels $E$ times before applying the [depthwise separable convolution](https://paperswithcode.com/method/depthwise-separable-convolution), and then maps it back to $C$ channels. The design motivation was to help model long-range correlations in the data by increasing the receptive field of the network, which explains the expanding path but also the use of depthwise convolutions to keep a handle on parameter count.
