Identifiability of Potentially Degenerate Gaussian Mixture Models With Piecewise Affine Mixing

Danru Xu, Sébastien Lachapelle, Sara Magliacane

Causal representation learning (CRL) aims to identify the underlying latent variables from high-dimensional observations, even when variables are dependent with each other. We stud…

All or None: Identifiable Linear Properties of Next-token Predictors in Language Modeling

Emanuele Marconato, Sébastien Lachapelle, Sebastian Weichwald +1

We analyze identifiability as a possible explanation for the ubiquity of linear properties across language models, such as the vector difference between the representations of "eas…

Nonparametric Partial Disentanglement via Mechanism Sparsity: Sparse Actions, Interventions and Sparse Temporal Dependencies

Sébastien Lachapelle, Pau Rodríguez López, Yash Sharma +4

This work introduces a novel principle for disentanglement we call mechanism sparsity regularization, which applies when the latent factors of interest depend sparsely on observed…

Partial Disentanglement via Mechanism Sparsity

Sébastien Lachapelle, Simon Lacoste-Julien

Disentanglement via mechanism sparsity was introduced recently as a principled approach to extract latent factors without supervision when the causal graph relating them in time is…

Disentanglement via Mechanism Sparsity Regularization: A New Principle for Nonlinear ICA

Sébastien Lachapelle, Pau Rodríguez López, Yash Sharma +4

This work introduces a novel principle we call disentanglement via mechanism sparsity regularization, which can be applied when the latent factors of interest depend sparsely on pa…
