• Authors: Bo-Kyeong Kim, Sungjin Park, Geonmin Kim, Soo-Young Lee
• Abstract summary: We separate generative factors of data into two latent vectors in a variational autoencoder. To learn the discrete class features, we introduce supervision using a small amount of labeled data. We show that (i) this vector independence term exists within the result obtained on the evidence decomposing lower bound with multiple latent vectors, and (ii) encouraging such independence along with reducing the total correlation within the vectors enhances disentanglement performance.

• Abstract: We aim to separate the generative factors of data into two latent vectors in a variational autoencoder. One vector captures class factors relevant to target classification tasks, while the other vector captures style factors relevant to the remaining information. To learn the discrete class features, we introduce supervision using a small amount of labeled data, which can simply yet effectively reduce the effort required for hyperparameter tuning performed in existing unsupervised methods. Furthermore, we introduce a learning objective to encourage statistical independence between the vectors. We show that (i) this vector independence term exists within the result obtained on decomposing the evidence lower bound with multiple latent vectors, and (ii) encouraging such independence along with reducing the total correlation within the vectors enhances disentanglement performance. Experiments conducted on several image datasets demonstrate that the disentanglement achieved via our method can improve classification performance and generation controllability.

  We propose a discrete variational autoencoder (VAE) based model where the ground truth information about the generative factors are not provided to the model. We demonstrate the advantages of learning discrete representations over learning continuous representations in facilitating disentanglement. Our method called FactorQVAE is the first method that combines optimization based disentanglement approaches with discrete representation learning.

  We introduce aTLAS, an algorithm that linearly combines parameter blocks with different learned coefficients, resulting in anisotropic scaling at the task vector level. We show that such linear combinations explicitly exploit the low intrinsicity of pre-trained models, with only a few coefficients being the learnable parameters. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in task arithmetic, few-shot recognition and test-time adaptation, with supervised or unsupervised objectives.
