In this paper, we propose a simple yet powerful generative model that learns such discrete representations. Our model, the Vector QuantisedVariational AutoEncoder (VQ-VAE), differs from VAEs in two key ways: the encoder network outputs discrete, rather than continuous, codes; and the prior is learnt rather than static. In order to learn a discret
