Current interactive systems with natural language interfaces lack the ability to understand a complex information-seeking request which expresses several implicit constraints at once, and there is no prior information about user preferences e. g.,"find hiking trails around San Francisco which are accessible with toddlers and have beautiful scenery in summer", where output is a list of possible suggestions for users to start their exploration.

We conclude that existing metrics of disentanglement were created to reflect different characteristics of disentanglement and do not satisfy two basic desirable properties: (1) assign a high score to representations that are disentangled according to the definition; and (2) assign a low score to representations that are entangled according to the definition.
