Success criteria:

give it a read through and identify the most important concepts in pyro
dig deeper only into the most important concepts without getting too much into the weeds
not spend more than 30-45 minutes doing so

Non-success criteria:

making sense of everything
feeling like I'm a master of SVI

A related guide to get more familiar with Pyro is here http://pyro.ai/examples/intro_long.html

I've also been taking a look at it as a way to get familiar with the more general model of Pyro. It explains stuff like plates, graphical representation of variables, and it seems to be a better way of getting familiar with the important concepts in pyro than the SVI page. Consequently, I'm also going to take a look at it.
