Importance Weighted Autoencoders (IWAE)

Link to paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1509.00519

AnalyticalIWAE: IWAE calculating loss manually

PytorchIWAE: IWAE using built-in torch functions to evaluate and calculation loss.
Includes example of algorithm very easy to apply to existing VAE (although a bit slower)

ConvIWAE: An example of convolutional IWAE, not integrated with main script, only as example
