• Abstract summary: We introduce a bidirectional weighted graph-based framework to learn factorized attributes and their interrelations within complex data. Specifically, we propose a $beta$-VAE based module to extract factors as the initial nodes of the graph. By integrating these complementary modules, our model successfully achieves fine-grained, practical and unsupervised disentanglement.

• Abstract: Disentangled representation learning (DRL) aims to identify and decompose underlying factors behind observations, thus facilitating data perception and generation. However, current DRL approaches often rely on the unrealistic assumption that semantic factors are statistically independent. In reality, these factors may exhibit correlations, which off-the-shelf solutions have yet to properly address. To tackle this challenge, we introduce a bidirectional weighted graph-based framework, to learn factorized attributes and their interrelations within complex data. Specifically, we propose a $\beta$-VAE based module to extract factors as the initial nodes of the graph, and leverage the multimodal large language model (MLLM) to discover and rank latent correlations, thereby updating the weighted edges. By integrating these complementary modules, our model successfully achieves fine-grained, practical and unsupervised disentanglement. Experiments demonstrate our method's superior performance in disentanglement and reconstruction. Furthermore, the model inherits enhanced interpretability and generalizability from MLLMs.

  Disentangled representation learning (DRL) aims to break down observed data into core intrinsic factors for a profound understanding of the data. Recently, there have been limited explorations of utilizing diffusion models (DMs) for unsupervised DRL. We propose Dynamic Gaussian Anchoring to enforce attribute-separated latent units for more interpretable DRL. We also propose Skip Dropout technique, which easily modifies the denoising U-Net to be more DRL-friendly.

  Contextual decision processes (CMDPs) describe a class of reinforcement learning problems in which the transition kernels and reward functions can change over time with different MDPs indexed by a context variable. CMDPs serve as an important framework to model many real-world applications with time-varying environments. We study CMDPs under two linear function approximation models: Model I with context-varying representations and common linear weights for all contexts; and Model II with common representations for all contexts and context-varying linear weights.

• Improving the Reconstruction of Disentangled Representation Learners via Multi-Stage Modeling [54.94763543386523]
  Current autoencoder-based disentangled representation learning methods achieve disentanglement by penalizing the ( aggregate) posterior to encourage statistical independence of the latent factors. We present a novel multi-stage modeling approach where the disentangled factors are first learned using a penalty-based disentangled representation learning method. Then, the low-quality reconstruction is improved with another deep generative model that is trained to model the missing correlated latent variables.
