• Title: Look, Learn and Leverage (L$^3$): Mitigating Visual-Domain Shift and Discovering Intrinsic Relations via Symbolic Alignment
• Authors: Hanchen Xie, Jiageng Zhu, Mahyar Khayatkhoei, Jiazhi Li, Wael AbdAlmageed,
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel learning framework, Look, Learn and Leverage (L$3$), which decomposes the learning process into three distinct phases. A relations discovery model can be trained on the source domain, and when the visual domain shifts and the intrinsic relations are absent, the pretrained relations discovery model can be directly reused and maintain a satisfactory performance.

• Abstract: Modern deep learning models have demonstrated outstanding performance on discovering the underlying mechanisms when both visual appearance and intrinsic relations (e.g., causal structure) data are sufficient, such as Disentangled Representation Learning (DRL), Causal Representation Learning (CRL) and Visual Question Answering (VQA) methods. However, generalization ability of these models is challenged when the visual domain shifts and the relations data is absent during finetuning. To address this challenge, we propose a novel learning framework, Look, Learn and Leverage (L$^3$), which decomposes the learning process into three distinct phases and systematically utilize the class-agnostic segmentation masks as the common symbolic space to align visual domains. Thus, a relations discovery model can be trained on the source domain, and when the visual domain shifts and the intrinsic relations are absent, the pretrained relations discovery model can be directly reused and maintain a satisfactory performance. Extensive performance evaluations are conducted on three different tasks: DRL, CRL and VQA, and show outstanding results on all three tasks, which reveals the advantages of L$^3$.

  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.
