Reconstruction loss

[maitarasher]

Hi! I'm curious about your decision to opt for the L2 (MSE) loss for reconstruction. I've come across discussions suggesting that the L1 (MAE) loss might be a better choice, as it tends to encourage less blurring in the generated images. Interestingly, I've observed some blurriness in the results obtained with the current L2 loss settings.

With this in mind, I'm considering experimenting with changing L2 to L1 for the Reconstruction loss. Do you think this change would primarily affect the section highlighted in this screenshot:

Or would it also extend to this area?

Additionally, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide some insight into the significance of noise_amp in this context.

Thank you for your assistance!
