Are you comparing to "VPN baseline" or "VPN"? #2

@xzr12 Hi Ziru,

Thanks for your paper and code. After skimming your paper, I have a question: Are you comparing to "VPN baseline" or "VPN"?

Best, Pharrell

xzr12 commented 5 years ago

We compare our method with the VPN baseline and we've mentioned it in the experiment section.

Thanks for the reply. I see.

@xzr12 In experiment section: “Due to the difficulty of reproducing the experimental results of the VPN”

May I ask what exactly is the “difficulty” mentioned in the paper? (Insufficient GPU memory for 256 channels in convLSTM or prohibitive converging time for 19.2M training sequences? Or others?)

xzr12 commented 5 years ago

The difficulty mentioned in the paper mainly lies in the reproduction of PixelCNN decoder so we adopt the baseline version of VPN.
