Original explanatory diagram for Distributional Matching for Vector Quantization: A Unified Theoretical and Empirical Framework

This entry introduces the 2025 study. The film is shared with the related 2026 framework, with the two papers and their results identified separately.

The earlier study examines quantization error, codebook utilization and assignment perplexity as distinct properties. Its distribution-matching objective uses a Gaussian approximation with sample means and covariance matrices.

The later framework broadens the comparison with a kernel-based MMD alternative. Read the separate 2026 paper introduction.
