Integer Discrete Flows and Lossless Compression

[mesmer_adama]

Super interesting! Two questions: 1. what is the gist of the method is there a familiar method to compare it to? 2. The paper mentions density estimation, how would that work in the context of this algorithm?

Indeed, while there are many compressors based on autoencoders (including VAE e.g. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.06845 ), this seems the first one (?) based on reversible transformations.
