ECE566 Final Project Variational Auto-Encoders (vanilla, IWAE, MIWAE)

Yite Wang, Yulun Wu

This is the Pytorch implementation of VAE, IWAE and MIWAE.

To run our code:

vanilla VAE

python main.py --stamp VAE_final --vae_type vanilla --batch_size 128

IWAE

python main.py --stamp iwae_final --vae_type IWAE --batch_size 128 --num_particles 5

MIWAE

python main.py --stamp MIWAE_t1 --vae_type MIWAE --batch_size 128 --num_samples 3 --num_particles 5
