In this video I cover VQ-VAEs papers:
1) Neural Discrete Representation Learning
2) Generating Diverse High-Fidelity Images with VQ-VAE-2 (the only difference is the existence of a hierarchical structure of latents and priors)
Many novel interesting AI papers such as DALL-E and Jukebox from OpenAI as well as VQ-GAN build off of VQ-VAEs, so it's fairly important to have a good grasp of how they work.
