Nonlinear ICA is known as unidentifiable with data only. They show that VAE conditioned with additional observation (e.g., time index, class label) can identify true components up to trivial transformation, showing principled disentanglement ability of VAE arxiv.org/abs/1907.04809

solid work 🔥👩‍🚒

"Variational Autoencoders and Nonlinear ICA: A Unifying Framework" is the #1 paper on Arxiv today in machine learning. Congrats Ilyes Khemakhem. See it at -> assert.pub/arxiv/stat/sta… and assert.pub/papers/1907.04…. Please retweet.

Our paper "Variational Autoencoders and Nonlinear ICA: A Unifying Framework" has been accepted to AISTATS'20. With Ilyes Khemakhem, Ricardo Pio Monti and Aapo Hyvarinen (UCL). Surprisingly strong and general identifiability results, with rigorous proofs! arxiv.org/abs/1907.04809

Recent collab with Durk, Ricardo P Monti and Aapo 👇
