Abstract: Learning disentangled representations is an important topic in machine learning for a wide range of applications. Disentangled latent variables represent interpretable semantic information and reflect separate factors of variation in data. Although generative models may learn latent representations and generate data samples as well, existing models may ignore the structural information among latent representations. Described in the present disclosure are embodiments to learn disentangled latent structural representations from data using decomposable variational auto-encoders, which simultaneously learn component representation and encodes component relationships. Embodiments of a novel structural prior for latent representations are disclosed to capture interactions among different data components. Embodiments are applied to data segmentation and latent relation discovery among different data components. Experiments on several datasets demonstrate the utility of the present model embodiments.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide an approach (referred to as “Co-training” mechanism throughout this disclosure) that jointly learns two representations of the training data, their class probabilities and low-dimensional embeddings. Specifically, two representations of each image sample are generated: a class probability produced by the classification head and a low-dimensional embedding produced by the projection head. The classification head is trained using memory-smoothed pseudo-labels, where pseudo-labels are smoothed by aggregating information from nearby samples in the embedding space. The projection head is trained using contrastive learning on a pseudo-label graph, where samples with similar pseudo-labels are encouraged to have similar embeddings.
