Epsilon std in VAE tutorial not defined #8942

Closed guillaume-chevalier closed 3 years ago

guillaume-chevalier commented 6 years ago

Hi,

This issue is about this blog post: https://blog.keras.io/building-autoencoders-in-keras.html

Please define what epsilon_std is. I didn't understand the VAE example until I looked into the code, but I could have figured it out if epsilon_std was defined in the post as equal to 1.0 as it is in the true source code here: https://github.com/keras-team/keras/blob/master/examples/variational_autoencoder.py

To summarize, it'd be great to define epsilon_std in the blog post's code samples rather than to let users dig into the code to see what's that variable. I had no problems understanding the rest. Or maybe the variable should be renamed so as to not require to tell its value to understand the post?

Thanks!

Even worse is the latest version of the example where epsilon_std doesn't exist in the code.
