Taming VAEs

Bayesian Methods of Machine Learning Course Project

Main paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.00597

IWAE: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1509.00519.pdf

Project Goals:

• Reproduce experiments (see Figure 2 and Figure 6) from the main paper
• Change ELBO, using IWAE bound (see the second paper)
• Repeat experiments with the new functional
• Compare the results
