<p>I recall seeing a question on VAEs last week, similar to this one but more verbose:</p>

<p><a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/324340/variational-autoencoder-vs-normal-autoencoder">Variational Autoencoder VS Normal Autoencoder</a></p>

<p>I remember the term "understand the basic math behind [them/VAE]" so I think it was a question from the same author. I can't find the question anymore and as I'm not a mod, I can't see if it has been deleted. Is there someone who can, and who would be willing to do it? :-) I don't think the question was closed, as I tried using <code>isclosed:yes</code> in my searches without success.</p>
