This document summarizes a presentation about variational autoencoders (VAEs) presented at the ICLR 2016 conference. The document discusses 5 VAE-related papers presented at ICLR 2016, including Importance Weighted Autoencoders, The Variational Fair Autoencoder, Generating Images from Captions with Attention, Variational Gaussian Process, and Variationally Auto-Encoded Deep Gaussian Processes. It also provides background on variational inference and VAEs, explaining how VAEs use neural networks to model probability distributions and maximize a lower bound on the log likelihood.

Introduction of Back Propagation(BP).
My understanding is far from perfect,
how to use, what's for, what can be? doubts are remained.
However i get more interest through this approach.
I'll make effort more about this.
1. The document summarizes two papers about bandit algorithms. The first paper proposes a multi-level bandit algorithm that utilizes the taxonomy of ads and web pages to reduce the number of arms to explore. The second paper studies the "mortal multi-armed bandit" problem where arms have finite lifetimes. It models the death rates of arms and proposes the "Stochastic with Early Stopping" algorithm that investigates new arms for a fixed number of pulls before abandoning them.
