The (semi-) obvious next step is to do object/digit recognition with a Bayesian probability calculation, with probabilities bases on this image reconstruction process. In other words, we choose e.g. digits based on how likely they are to have been drawn to give the target image.
I have experimented a little with this idea, but with no successful results so far (plain old NNs still beat it).
