Reading Assignment 8: Autoregressive Networks (ARNs)

Autoregressive models in general

• Sections 20.10.7 to 20.10.10 from the Deep Learning Book about types of autoregressive networks: ARNs, linear ARNs, neural ARNs, NADE
• Chapter 21 from Probabilistic Machine Learning: Advanced Topics which covers more recent developments

Optional deeper reading on some successful ARNs

• PixelRNN & PixelCNN
• WaveNet (blog post, paper)
• PixelCNN extensions
• parallel WaveNet
