Reference score115,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Replaced conditionally affine scalar transforms by monotonic neural networks, including deep sigmoidal flow modules for richer density estimation and variational posterior approximation.

Scientific scope

Replaced conditionally affine scalar transforms by monotonic neural networks, including deep sigmoidal flow modules for richer density estimation and variational posterior approximation. The source's universal-approximation statements require positive continuous densities and convergence in distribution, not exact finite-network representation of arbitrary discrete or singular laws. Monotonicity needs positivity/activation assumptions; invertibility alone does not give a cheap closed-form inverse. Theorems were read as statements, not independently replayed.

Evidence

The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
