Recovery error

After learning the model from the training images (now assumed to be fully observed), we can evaluate the model by the reconstruction error on the testing images. We randomly select 1000 face images for training and 300 images for testing from CelebA dataset. After learning, we infer the latent factors Z for each testing image using inferential back-propagation, and then reconstruct the testing image.
