Why do Variational Autoencoders Really Promote Disentanglement?

ICML 2024poster

Despite not being designed for this purpose, the use of variational autoencoders (VAEs) has proven remarkably effective for disentangled representation learning (DRL). Recent research attributes this success to certain characteristics of the loss function that prevent latent space rotation, or hypot…
