Information-Theoretic Framework Unifies Generalization Bounds for VAEs and Diffusion Models
A new arXiv paper derives generalization guarantees for both variational autoencoders and diffusion models within a single information-theoretic framework. The analysis exploits the encoder-generator structure shared by the two model families, which earlier theoretical work had largely treated separately. The authors report bounds that clarify how the shared architecture affects performance on unseen data.
