• Abstract summary: We propose a generative latent variable model, called SPACE, that combines the best of spatial-attention and scene-mixture approaches. We show through experiments on Atari and 3D-Rooms that SPACE achieves the above properties consistently in comparison to SPAIR, IODINE, and GENESIS.

• Abstract: The ability to decompose complex multi-object scenes into meaningful abstractions like objects is fundamental to achieve higher-level cognition. Previous approaches for unsupervised object-oriented scene representation learning are either based on spatial-attention or scene-mixture approaches and limited in scalability which is a main obstacle towards modeling real-world scenes. In this paper, we propose a generative latent variable model, called SPACE, that provides a unified probabilistic modeling framework that combines the best of spatial-attention and scene-mixture approaches. SPACE can explicitly provide factorized object representations for foreground objects while also decomposing background segments of complex morphology. Previous models are good at either of these, but not both. SPACE also resolves the scalability problems of previous methods by incorporating parallel spatial-attention and thus is applicable to scenes with a large number of objects without performance degradations. We show through experiments on Atari and 3D-Rooms that SPACE achieves the above properties consistently in comparison to SPAIR, IODINE, and GENESIS.

  We present a 3D generative model named DynaVol-S for dynamic scenes that enables object-centric learning. voxelization infers per-object occupancy probabilities at individual spatial locations. Our approach integrates 2D semantic features to create 3D semantic grids, representing the scene through multiple disentangled voxel grids.

  We present a new self-supervised PArallel visible-to-COmplete diffusion framework, named PACO, for object-level scene deocclusion. To train PACO, we create a large-scale dataset with 500k samples to enable self-supervised learning. Experiments on COCOA and various real-world scenes demonstrate the superior capability of PACO for scene deocclusion, surpassing the state of the arts by a large margin.

  We study the problem of object discovery -- separating objects from the background without manual labels. Existing approaches utilize appearance cues, such as color, texture, and location, to group pixels into object-like regions. We choose to focus on dynamic objects -- entities that can move independently in the world.

  We propose a depth-conditioned Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE) trained on a dataset of objects stacked under physics simulation. We formulate instance segmentation as a centre voting task which allows for class-agnostic detection and doesn't require setting the maximum number of objects in the scene. Our method has practical applications in providing robots some of the ability humans have to make rapid intuitive inferences of partially observed scenes.
