Disentangling Factors of Variation by Mixing Them

no code implementations CVPR 2018 Qiyang Hu, Attila Szabó, Tiziano Portenier, Matthias Zwicker, Paolo Favaro

We learn our representation without any labeling or knowledge of the data domain, using an autoencoder architecture with two novel training objectives: first, we propose an invariance objective to encourage that encoding of each attribute, and decoding of each chunk, are invariant to changes in other attributes and chunks, respectively; second, we include a classification objective, which ensures that each chunk corresponds to a consistently discernible attribute in the represented image, hence avoiding degenerate feature mappings where some chunks are completely ignored.
