class_docstr: This class encapsulates the parameters (neural networks) and models & guides needed to train a
  semi-supervised variational auto-encoder on the MNIST image dataset
  
  :param output_size: size of the tensor representing the class label (10 for MNIST since
                      we represent the class labels as a one-hot vector with 10 components)
  :param input_size: size of the tensor representing the image (28*28 = 784 for our MNIST dataset
                     since we flatten the images and scale the pixels to be in [0,1])
  :param z_dim: size of the tensor representing the latent random variable z
                (handwriting style for our MNIST dataset)
  :param hidden_layers: a tuple (or list) of MLP layers to be used in the neural networks
                        representing the parameters of the distributions in our model
  :param use_cuda: use GPUs for faster training
  :param aux_loss_multiplier: the multiplier to use with the auxiliary loss
