A new research paper proposes a novel approach to unsupervised disentangled representation learning by framing latent concepts as factors influencing observations through locally orthogonal directions. This method, formalized by an orthogonality constraint on the Jacobian of the generative mapping, aims to achieve identifiability in nonlinear generative models without relying on statistical independence or causal assumptions. Experiments using orthogonality-regularized normalizing flows have empirically validated the theory, demonstrating the reliable recovery of ground-truth factors and offering insights into the effectiveness of Variational Auto-Encoders (VAEs). The findings challenge previous claims of impossibility for unsupervised disentanglement and present a principled alternative. AI
