Multi-Level Variational Autoencoder (Multi-VAE)
B) Introduction
The VAE model assumes that the observations are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.).
- In the case of grouped observations, this assumption is no longer true.
- The VAE model takes no advantage of the knowledge of the grouping.
