RePercENT: Scaling Disentangled Representation Learning Beyond Two Modalities
Researchers have introduced RePercENT, a self-supervised framework designed to enable disentangled representation learning across more than two modalities. Existing methods are limited to two modalities due to scalability issues, but RePercENT utilizes a plug-and-play architecture that operates on pre-extracted embeddings. This approach avoids extensive joint pre-training and allows for simultaneous optimization of shared and unique components, with theoretical guarantees of optimality. Experiments show RePercENT successfully recovers disentangled components while maintaining competitive performance and reducing computational complexity. AI
