abstract

We investigate the problem of learning representations that are invariant to certain nuisance or sensitive factors of variation in the data while retaining as much of the remaining information as possible. Our model is based on a variational autoencoding architecture with priors that encourage independence between sensitive and latent factors of variation. Any subsequent processing, such as classification, can then be performed on this purged latent representation. To remove any remaining dependencies we incorporate an additional penalty term based on the "Maximum Mean Discrepancy" (MMD) measure. We discuss how these architectures can be efficiently trained on data and show in experiments that this method is more effective than previous work in removing unwanted sources of variation while maintaining informative latent representations.

TabChange: Precise Attribute Changes in Tabular Data

cs.LG · 2026-05-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

TabChange produces more proximal and valid counterfactuals on tabular data by relationship-based flipping or adversarial latent-space attribute removal compared to baselines on seven datasets.

Distributed Deep Variational Approach for Privacy-preserving Data Release

cs.CR · 2026-05-04 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

GPP trains local variational encoders in federated settings to release representations that keep utility within 1% of an autoencoder baseline while driving adversary AUC on sensitive attributes to near-random levels on MNIST, CelebA, and HAPT data.
