Optimal forgetting: Semantic compression of episodic memories David G.Nagy, Balázs Török, Gergő Orbán, bioRxiv 2020.05.06.080838.

The paper uses Variational Autoencoders to establish a connection between generative models and Rate Distortion Theory. The proposed semantic compression is applied in a range of domains to explain memory distortions.
