Researchers have developed a new method for proving the identifiability of deep generative models (DGMs) with piecewise-affine decoders and Gaussian mixture model priors. This approach utilizes three algebraic contrast principles—domain contrast, mechanism contrast, and interaction contrast—to break symmetries and ensure model identifiability in a purely unsupervised setting. The findings establish a hierarchy of identifiability, from latent distribution to posterior and pointwise identifiability, and are the first to handle discontinuous decoders and fully non-injective decoders.
