The paper doesn't have one message. Theorem 3 is not empirically investigated. TYPOS, ETC - Abstract. To state that the papers "draws useful connections" is uninformative, if the abstract doesn't state *what* connections are drawn. - Theorem 1. Is subscript k (overloaded later in Line 178, etc) necessary? It looks like one can simply restate the theorem in terms of alpha -> infinity? - Line 137 -- do the authors confuse VAEs with GANs's mode collapse here? - The discussion around equation (10) is very terse, and not very clearly explained. - Line 205. True posterior over which random variables? - Line 230 deserves an explanation, i.e. why conditioning p(x_missing | x_observed, x) is easily computable. - Figure 3: which Markov chain line is red and blue? Label?
