Introduced by Aaron van den Oord et al. in Pixel Recurrent Neural Networks

archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.

A Masked Convolution is a type of convolution which masks certain pixels so that the model can only predict based on pixels already seen. This type of convolution was introduced with PixelRNN generative models, where an image is generated pixel by pixel, to ensure that the model was conditional only on pixels already visited.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (26 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
