This paper challenges the common assumption that the weight $\beta$, in $\beta$-VAE, should be larger than $1$ in order to effectively disentangle latent factors. We demonstrate that $\beta$-VAE, with $\beta < 1$, can not only attain good…
Recommendation models are typically trained on observational user interaction data, but the interactions between latent factors in users' decision-making processes lead to complex and entangled data. Disentangling these latent factors to…

We characterise disentanglement in smooth generative pushforward models, such as in VAEs and GANs. For a generator/decoder $g:Z\to X$ and factorised prior $p(z)=\prod_i p_i(z_i)$, we define disentanglement as factorisation of the…
