Deep Convolutional Variational Autoencoder

This repository contains a Keras implementation using the MNIST digits dataset.
It improves upon the results demonstrated in the Keras blog.
To achieve better performance, the model employs:

• deeper convolutional architecture
• batch normalization layers
• max pooling rather than strided convolutions
