I am reading about variational auto encoders, and there is the below loss function:



$l_i(Theta,phi) = - mathbbE_zsim q [log p_phi(x_i|z)] + KL(q_phi(z_i|x)||p(z))$



What does the notation $zsim q$ under $mathbbE$ mean? I just have
seen notations like $E(X)$ or $ langle Xrangle $ for expected value, $mathbbE$.



What does this notation generally mean when using $mathbbE_xsim y$ for some $x$ and some $y$?

          $zsim q$ means that RV $Z$ is distributed with respect to $q$ function, i.e. $q(z)$, where $q(z)$ is a valid PDF/PMF. So, the expectation can be unfold as (assuming $z$ being continuous)
          $$E_zsim q[log_phi(x_i|z)]=int_-infty^infty log_phi (x_i|z) q(z) dz$$
