Latent Disentanglement

Latent disentanglement aims to decompose complex data into independent, interpretable latent factors, enabling better control over data generation and improved understanding of underlying processes. Current research focuses on applying this technique using variational autoencoders (VAEs) and generative adversarial networks (GANs), often incorporating self-supervised or weakly-supervised learning methods to address the challenge of obtaining sufficient labeled data. This field is significantly impacting various applications, including image enhancement, audio-visual analysis, 3D modeling, and medical diagnosis, by providing more robust and interpretable models for these tasks. The resulting disentangled representations offer improved controllability and generalization capabilities compared to traditional approaches.
