DRAW: A Recurrent Neural Network For Image Generation
DRAW introduces a Deep Recurrent Attentive Writer that iteratively builds images using a differentiable 2D attention mechanism within a variational auto-encoder. It substantially improves MNIST generation and yields highly realistic SVHN-like images, with plausible CIFAR-10 samples.

01Abstract
DRAW is a recurrent neural network that generates images by iteratively refining them with a spatial attention mechanism.
1:52Explained02The DRAW Network
DRAW utilizes a recurrent encoder-decoder architecture that communicates through latent variables and updates a canvas over time to generate images.
1:59Explained03Read and Write Operations
DRAW employs a differentiable selective attention mechanism for reading input images and writing to a canvas, allowing it to focus on specific image regions.
1:49Explained04Experimental Results
DRAW demonstrates state-of-the-art generative performance on datasets like MNIST and SVHN, and its attention mechanism aids in classification tasks.
2:04Explained05Conclusion
DRAW's combination of recurrent encoder-decoder communication and differentiable spatial attention enables iterative image generation and enhances performance on generative benchmarks.
