Is plain autoencoder a generative model?
An autoencoder is not considered a generative model, because it only reconstructs the given input. You could use the decoder like a generative model by putting in different vectors. However, the ...

How to generate new data given a trained VAE - sample from the learned latent space or from multivariate Gaussian?
Maybe there's a misconception, we are not learning a mu and log_var but a mapping (encoder) from an image to ...

How to generate new data given a trained VAE - sample from the learned latent space or from multivariate Gaussian?
I think method 1 will provide the best output.
Approximating the empirical distribution of $z$ should provide decoder inputs in the subset of latent space that the decoder was trained on.
Sampling ...

Why don't we also need to approximate $p(x \mid z)$ in the VAE?
What I can guess here is that, in VAEs, we assume $p(z)$ (prior), so we are able to calculate $p(x \mid z)$, but for $p(x)$ we can't assume its distribution? Is it right?
You could assume $p(x)$ is ...

Why do we use the same parameters for the joint, marginal and conditional distributions in VAEs?
I think this is very confusing to many people. I had to deal with VAEs (and Bayesian neural networks) multiple times in the past, and I've seen so many inconsistent notations and unclear explanations. ...
