Description

Hi! Thanks for you work. In the implementation of VQVAE (https://github.com/deepmind/sonnet/blob/v2/sonnet/src/nets/vqvae.py#L89C1-L89C1), perplexity is used as an evaluation measure for VQ codebook. It monitors whether index collapse happens. Does this project has similar parameter?

Research direction

Read the linked Sonnet VQ-VAE implementation to understand how perplexity measures codebook usage. Then locate the corresponding vector-quantization implementation in this repository and determine where the metric belongs. Done means the project exposes a perplexity measure that can monitor index collapse.
