Sintesi	Normalizing flows are a class of generative models that learn a complex probability distribution by applying a sequence of invertible, differentiable transformations to a simple base distribution such as a standard Gaussian. Introduced by Rezende and Mohamed (2015) in the context of variational inference, they enable exact likelihood computation and efficient sampling, making them a principled alternative to VAEs and GANs for density estimation and generation tasks.	The Variational Autoencoder (VAE) is a deep generative latent-variable model, introduced by Diederik Kingma and Max Welling in 2014, that encodes data as a probability distribution in a latent space and samples from that distribution to generate new examples. It is used for data generation, anomaly detection, and feature learning.
