1. Pre-trained Models

1) On Fashion MNIST

• vqvae-fashion_mnist.pth
• Trained VQ-VAE for 47 epochs. (Validation loss: 0.145)

  dataset="fashion_mnist"

3. Implementation Details

1) detach()

• VQ-VAE 학습에서 Loss 계산 시 z_q = z_e + (z_q - z_e).detach()를 추가할 시 학습이 더 빨라지는 것을 확인했으나, 정확히 어떤 기능을 하는지까지는 알지 못했습니다.
