AAE with reparameterization trick

[rdaems]

Hi, thanks for publishing your code!

I have a question about your implementation of the Adversarial AutoEncoder (AAE).
In your code I see you use the reparameterization trick (https://github.com/MaciejZamorski/3d-AAE/blob/master/models/aae.py), like you would if you would train a VAE.

Is there a specific reason to do this? Because I'd think this is not necessary?

Kind regards

Rembert
