Linking vision and motion for self-supervised object-centric perception
Kaylene C. Stocking, Zak Murez, Vijay Badrinarayanan +4
Object-centric representations enable autonomous driving algorithms to reason about interactions between many independent agents and scene features. Traditionally these representat…
Constellation: Learning relational abstractions over objects for compositional imagination
James C. R. Whittington, Rishabh Kabra, Loic Matthey +2
Learning structured representations of visual scenes is currently a major bottleneck to bridging perception with reasoning. While there has been exciting progress with slot-based m…
SIMONe: View-Invariant, Temporally-Abstracted Object Representations via Unsupervised Video Decomposition
Rishabh Kabra, Daniel Zoran, Goker Erdogan +5
To help agents reason about scenes in terms of their building blocks, we wish to extract the compositional structure of any given scene (in particular, the configuration and charac…
Unsupervised Object-Based Transition Models for 3D Partially Observable Environments
Antonia Creswell, Rishabh Kabra, Chris Burgess +1
We present a slot-wise, object-based transition model that decomposes a scene into objects, aligns them (with respect to a slot-wise object memory) to maintain a consistent order a…
AlignNet: Unsupervised Entity Alignment
Antonia Creswell, Kyriacos Nikiforou, Oriol Vinyals +8
Recently developed deep learning models are able to learn to segment scenes into component objects without supervision. This opens many new and exciting avenues of research, allowi…
Unsupervised Model Selection for Variational Disentangled Representation Learning
Sunny Duan, Loic Matthey, Andre Saraiva +4
Disentangled representations have recently been shown to improve fairness, data efficiency and generalisation in simple supervised and reinforcement learning tasks. To extend the b…
COBRA: Data-Efficient Model-Based RL through Unsupervised Object Discovery and Curiosity-Driven Exploration
Nicholas Watters, Loic Matthey, Matko Bosnjak +2
Data efficiency and robustness to task-irrelevant perturbations are long-standing challenges for deep reinforcement learning algorithms. Here we introduce a modular approach to add…
Multi-Object Representation Learning with Iterative Variational Inference
Klaus Greff, Raphaël Lopez Kaufman, Rishabh Kabra +6
Human perception is structured around objects which form the basis for our higher-level cognition and impressive systematic generalization abilities. Yet most work on representatio…
MONet: Unsupervised Scene Decomposition and Representation
Christopher P. Burgess, Loic Matthey, Nicholas Watters +4
The ability to decompose scenes in terms of abstract building blocks is crucial for general intelligence. Where those basic building blocks share meaningful properties, interaction…
Spatial Broadcast Decoder: A Simple Architecture for Learning Disentangled Representations in VAEs
Nicholas Watters, Loic Matthey, Christopher P. Burgess +1
We present a simple neural rendering architecture that helps variational autoencoders (VAEs) learn disentangled representations. Instead of the deconvolutional network typically us…
Life-Long Disentangled Representation Learning with Cross-Domain Latent Homologies
Alessandro Achille, Tom Eccles, Loic Matthey +4
Intelligent behaviour in the real-world requires the ability to acquire new knowledge from an ongoing sequence of experiences while preserving and reusing past knowledge. We propos…
Understanding disentangling in -VAE
Christopher P. Burgess, Irina Higgins, Arka Pal +4
We present new intuitions and theoretical assessments of the emergence of disentangled representation in variational autoencoders. Taking a rate-distortion theory perspective, we s…
DARLA: Improving Zero-Shot Transfer in Reinforcement Learning
Irina Higgins, Arka Pal, Andrei A. Rusu +6
Domain adaptation is an important open problem in deep reinforcement learning (RL). In many scenarios of interest data is hard to obtain, so agents may learn a source policy in a s…
SCAN: Learning Hierarchical Compositional Visual Concepts
Irina Higgins, Nicolas Sonnerat, Loic Matthey +7
The seemingly infinite diversity of the natural world arises from a relatively small set of coherent rules, such as the laws of physics or chemistry. We conjecture that these rules…
