Preventing Local Pitfalls in Vector Quantization via Optimal Transport
Preventing Local Pitfalls in Vector Quantization via Optimal Transport
Vector-quantized networks (VQNs) have exhibited remarkable performance across various tasks, yet they are prone to training instability, which complicates the training process due to the necessity for techniques such as subtle initialization and model distillation. In this study, we identify the local minima issue as the primary cause of this …
