Although it is often argued that this\r\nrepresentational format is useful in learning to solve many real-world\r\ndown-stream tasks, there is little empirical evidence that supports this claim.\r\nIn this paper, we conduct a large-scale study that investigates whether\r\ndisentangled representations are more suitable for abstract reasoning tasks.\r\nUsing two new tasks similar to Raven's Progressive Matrices, we evaluate the\r\nusefulness of the representations learned by 360 state-of-the-art unsupervised\r\ndisentanglement models. Based on these representations, we train 3600 abstract\r\nreasoning models and observe that disentangled representations do in fact lead\r\nto better down-stream performance. In particular, they enable quicker learning\r\nusing fewer samples."}],"year":"2019","external_id":{"arxiv":["1905.12506"]},"month":"05","date_created":"2023-08-22T14:09:53Z","publication_status":"published","extern":"1","_id":"14193","date_published":"2019-05-29T00:00:00Z","status":"public","volume":32,"conference":{"end_date":"2019-12-14","location":"Vancouver, Canada","name":"NeurIPS: Neural Information Processing Systems","start_date":"2019-12-08"},"quality_controlled":"1","department":[{"_id":"FrLo"}],"oa_version":"Preprint","type":"conference","date_updated":"2023-09-12T09:02:43Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","title":"Are disentangled representations helpful for abstract visual reasoning?","citation":{"ista":"Steenkiste S van, Locatello F, Schmidhuber J, Bachem O. 2019.
