Notes on Auto Encoding Variational Bayes

Disclaimer: This is part of my notes on AI research papers. I do this to learn and communicate what I understand. Feel free to comment if you have any suggestion, that would be very much appreciated. The following post is a comment on the paper Auto Encoding Variational Bayes by Diederik P. Kingma and Max Welling. What introduces their contributions is the following question: How can we perform efficient approximate inference and learning with directed probabilistic models whose continuous latent variables and/or parameters have intractable posterior distributions?...
