We define and address the problem of unsupervised learning of disentangled representations on data generated from independent factors of variation. We propose FactorVAE, a method that disentangles by encouraging the distribution of representations to be factorial and hence independent across the dimensions. We show that it improves upon $\beta$-VAE by providing a better trade-off between disentanglement and reconstruction quality. Moreover, we highlight the problems of a commonly used disentanglement metric and introduce a new metric that does not suffer from them.

  1. Correcting Influence: Unboxing LLM Outputs with Orthogonal Latent Spaces

    cs.LG 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A latent mediation framework with sparse autoencoders enables non-additive token-level influence attribution in LLMs by learning orthogonal features and back-propagating attributions.

  2. Learning to Theorize the World from Observation

    cs.LG 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    NEO induces compositional latent programs as world theories from observations and executes them to enable explanation-driven generalization.

  3. What's in the latent space? Exploring coupled tropical Pacific variability within a Multi-branch $\beta$-Variational Autoencoder

    physics.ao-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A multi-branch β-VAE on tropical Pacific SST, OHC, and OLR fields yields a latent space that reconstructs data well and aligns with physical ENSO and longer-term coupled variability modes.
