Disentangled VAE
Replicating DeepMind's papers "β-VAE: Learning Basic Visual Concepts with a Constrained Variational Framework" and "Understanding disentangling in β-VAE"
2D shape disentaglement
Result by changing latent Z from -3.0 to 3.0 with γ=100.0 and C=20.0
Latent variables with small variances seem extracting "x", "y", "rotation" and "scale" parameters.
(This experiment is using DeepMind's dsprite data set.)
