Hello, I am new to this forum (and sort of new to Edward as well). I wrote an essay based on reviewing a few academic papers serving as an introduction to the library including a demonstration of Variational Auto-Encoders. If you would like to read it is available on Medium [here](https://medium.com/from-the-diaries-of-john-henry/probabilistic-programming-possibilities-1554ed8baecf).

Best Regards,
