Description
The NVAE Generative Residual Cell is a skip connection block used as part of the NVAE architecture for the generator. The residual cell expands the number of channels times before applying the depthwise separable convolution, and then maps it back to channels. The design motivation was to help model long-range correlations in the data by increasing the receptive field of the network, which explains the expanding path but also the use of depthwise convolutions to keep a handle on parameter count.
