Before revision:  In other words, are frequently observed subsequences assigned a correspondingly large probability by the VAE? Using a set of sequence statistics we comparatively assess the accuracy, or "generative capacity" , of three GPSMs : a pairwise Potts Hamiltonian, a vanilla VAE, and a site-independent model, using natural and synthetic datasets.
After revision:  We develop a set of sequence statistics we comparatively assess the accuracy, or "generative capacity" , of three GPSMs : a pairwise Potts Hamiltonian, a vanilla VAE, and a site-independent model, using natural and synthetic datasets.
