Critique

Overall, this is a wonderful page on VRNNs, which models the sequential data by introducing non-determinism in the hidden state of the RNNs by incorporating the VAEs at every timestep of the RNN.

1. Instead of providing the source when clicking on the figures, please provide it in the caption as well.

2. The formulas were easy to understand, with a clear understanding of each variable.

3. Just a suggestion, if you like, to add separate high-level illustrations of STORN and VRNN under that respective section. If you could add a detailed view of a cell at timestep t of VRNN, that would also help a reader understand the clear distinction with RNNs.

4. Do you think you can provide a section on other downstream tasks where VRNNs could be used. For example, what are your thoughts on Machine Translation?
