Pytorch implementation of a Variational Autoencoder with Gumbel-Softmax Distribution. Refer to the following paper:

• Categorical Reparametrization with Gumbel-Softmax by Jang, Gu and Poole

• Installation
• Ananconda
• Results

The program requires the following dependencies (easy to install using pip or Ananconda):

• python 2.7/3.5
• pytorch (version 0.3.1)
• numpy

Train VAE-Gumbel-Softmax model on the local machine using MNIST dataset:

python vae_gumbel_softmax.py
