Most contemporary generative models of images, sound and video do not operate directly on pixels or waveforms. They consist of two stages : first, a compact, higher-level latent representation is extracted, and then an iterative generative process operates on this representation instead. How does this work, and why is this approach so popular?

In what follows, I will talk at length about latents as a plural noun, which is the usual shorthand for late
