DCI-ES: An Extended Disentanglement Framework with Connections to Identifiability

ICLR 2023poster

In representation learning, a common approach is to seek representations which disentangle the underlying factors of variation. Eastwood & Williams (2018) proposed three metrics for quantifying the quality of such disentangled representations: disentanglement (D), completeness (C) and informativenes…

Discrete Key-Value Bottleneck

ICML 2023poster

Deep neural networks perform well on classification tasks where data streams are i.i.d. and labeled data is abundant. Challenges emerge with non-stationary training data streams such as continual learning. One powerful approach that has addressed this challenge involves pre-training of large encoder…

The Role of Pretrained Representations for the OOD Generalization of RL Agents

ICLR 2022poster

Building sample-efficient agents that generalize out-of-distribution (OOD) in real-world settings remains a fundamental unsolved problem on the path towards achieving higher-level cognition. One particularly promising approach is to begin with low-dimensional, pretrained representations of our world…

Visual Representation Learning Does Not Generalize Strongly Within the Same Domain

ICLR 2022poster

An important component for generalization in machine learning is to uncover underlying latent factors of variation as well as the mechanism through which each factor acts in the world. In this paper, we test whether 17 unsupervised, weakly supervised, and fully supervised representation learning app…

Backward-Compatible Prediction Updates: A Probabilistic Approach

NeurIPS 2021poster

When machine learning systems meet real world applications, accuracy is only one of several requirements. In this paper, we assay a complementary perspective originating from the increasing availability of pre-trained and regularly improving state-of-the-art models. While new improved models develop…

CausalWorld: A Robotic Manipulation Benchmark for Causal Structure and Transfer Learning

ICLR 2021poster

Despite recent successes of reinforcement learning (RL), it remains a challenge for agents to transfer learned skills to related environments. To facilitate research addressing this problem, we proposeCausalWorld, a benchmark for causal structure and transfer learning in a robotic manipulation envir…

On Disentangled Representations Learned from Correlated Data

ICML 2021oral

The focus of disentanglement approaches has been on identifying independent factors of variation in data. However, the causal variables underlying real-world observations are often not statistically independent. In this work, we bridge the gap to real-world scenarios by analyzing the behavior of the…

On the Transfer of Disentangled Representations in Realistic Settings

ICLR 2021poster

Learning meaningful representations that disentangle the underlying structure of the data generating process is considered to be of key importance in machine learning. While disentangled representations were found to be useful for diverse tasks such as abstract reasoning and fair classification, the…
