Our paper “Disentangled latent representations of images with atomic autoencoders” will be presented at the SampTA conference by A. Newson.
Abstract: “We present the atomic autoencoder architecture, which decomposes an image as the sum of elementary parts that are parametrized by simple separate blocks of latent codes. We show that this simple architecture is induced by the definition of a general atomic low-dimensional model of the considered data. We also highlight the fact that the atomic autoencoder achieves disentangled low-dimensional representations under minimal hypotheses. Experiments show that their implementation with deep neural networks is successful at learning disentangled representations on two different examples: images constructed with simple parametric curves and images of filtered off-the-grid spikes.”
