The architecture section is filled with unclear phrases and undefined terms. For example, "noise distribution", "q-distributions or variational posteriors", "p-distributions", "amortized approach", "which is usually intractable" (what is intractable?), "free energy expression". None of these are defined. It is unclear if this section of the article is useful to anyone who is not already familiar with how variational autoencoders work.

''"The form given is not very convenient for maximization, but the following, equivalent form, is:"''
 
There should be more steps to explain how the equivalent form is obtained from the "given" one. Also, the dot placeholder notation is inconsistent, changing from <math>p_\theta(\cdot|x)</math> to <math>p_\theta(\cdot)</math>.
