I am trying to build a Variational Autoencoder. I was looking at various codes online and found most of them in some way or another copy Francois Chollet (Google researchers) code.



Now my main question with this code is this part:



enter image description here



As you can clearly see the $log(sigma)$ is the output from a Dense layer. Where did this assumption come from (the output is $log(sigma)$ and not $sigma$? How is it possible that we generate a random normal distribution with standard deviation $sigma$ like this? Is it due to the way the computer generates Normal Distributions?

    @Esmailian you can see that K_log_sigma = dense(latent_dim) which is the same as z_mean taken in the above line

    @Esmailian ok sorry..i'll edit that part out but the question will now be why is it $log(sigma)$ and not $sigma$
