Regarding the upcoming variational autoencoder feature #4

This is great stuff!

The README.md mentioned that there is a plan to support variational autoencoder, which I very much look forward to. My understanding is that the vanilla VAE tends to create blurry images (perhaps due to the disentangled representation that it learns), and I wonder if the planned VAE feature will be based on the vanilla VAE, or something like the autoencoding beyond pixels, or adversarial autoencoders?

We are looking at different architectures right now such as VAE-GAN or PPGAN. I am busy with a paper deadline right now, and plan to add new architectures by the late Jan or early Feb. If you would like to help add a particular network, send us a pull request.
