$mathbf{lambda}$-VAE: Variance Equalization for Posterior Collapse
arXiv:2607.05531v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) frequently suffer from posterior collapse, a failure mode in which the approximate posterior converges to the prior, rendering the latent code uninformative. Despite extensive research, a unified account of why collapse occurs has remained
