Hi,
I am trying to plot a model where I would like to also do automatized rendering, however I can only set obs=data to denote that sample is supervised, and if I keep obs empty, then the node is unsupervised.
However, I would like to denote a semi supervised setting where we would ‘paint’ the half of the sample, like in SS-VAE figures in Pyro website, as below:
Can you let me know how to make that happen?
Thanks!
This is a cool idea, you should open an feature request issue. I think we could make this work by passing two sets of *args,kwargs**.
Thanks!
Hi again @fritzo , can you let me know if we can have diamond shape in the rendering to denote deterministic qualities? I am somehow unable to find it in the documentation.
I would be glad to hear back from you,
Best,
Hi @kkalt, currently Pyro does not support rendering deterministic dependencies. I had tried to get this working in the render-deterministic branch addressing this issue, but it was more complex than I expected. The similar issue in NumPyro has already been resolved, so we might try following that pattern. Additionally I believe @eb8680_2 has been looking into rendering deterministic nodes for use in causal inference. We do want to support it, we just haven’t had time 
Hi @fritzo, thank you for your quick reply. I see. I checked the NumPyro link (thank you for that), and I notice that it is solving the issue of the need of rending a derived attribute (dashed ellipse). However what I need would be a deterministic attribute in a box or a lozenge.
Ofcourse, time is indeed limited! It would be a great feature to have!
@kkalt sounds good. Could we continue discussion at the pyro issue? @eb8680_2 and I should have time to look into it in the next month or two.
Sure! That would be great 
Shall I duplicate my question in that issue?
@fritzo I just see that you put the forum issue there. Therefore I didnt post and duplicate the content. Thanks for looking into this!
