  "summary": "Episodic memory must preserve detail while storing memories efficiently. We propose a framework of memory encoding in which generative neural network models approximate input through their frozen weights, yielding starting points from which the same weights can reinstate the input. This removes the need for mutually invertible cortical-hippocampal mappings, realizes a tradeoff between…",
