Standard maximum likelihood fails due to near-zero counts. We instead maximize the Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO): [ \mathcalL(\theta,\phi;\mathbfx) = \mathbbE q \phi(\mathbfz [\log p_\theta(\mathbfx|\mathbfz)] - D_KL(q_\phi(\mathbfz|\mathbfx) | p(\mathbfz)) ] where ( q_\phi ) is a neural encoder (inference network) and ( p_\theta ) is a decoder that maps latent variables to Poisson rates.
