Training-Free Bottleneck Width Planning for Convolutional Autoencoders
Multiscale Spectral Rate-Distortion (MS-SRD) estimates the bottleneck channels required at user-supplied spatial cuts from training images and a normalized mean-squared error (NMSE) bound, without fitting a neural network. Its covariance-tail rule is exact for shared linear block-convolutional autoencoders under square...
