This repository contains cleaned-up code for reproducing the quantitative experiments in Isolating Sources of Disentanglement in Variational Autoencoders [arxiv].
To train a model:
python vae_quant.py --dataset [shapes/faces] --beta 6 --tcvae
Specify --conv to use the convolutional VAE. We used a mlp for dSprites and conv for 3d faces. To see all options, use the -h flag.
The main computational difference between beta-VAE and beta-TCVAE is summarized in these lines.
To evaluate the MIG of a model:
python disentanglement_metrics.py --checkpt [checkpt]
To see all options, use the -h flag.
