    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for training a variational auto-encoder (VAE) to generate disentangled latent factors on unlabeled training images. In one aspect, a method includes receiving the plurality of unlabeled training images, and, for each unlabeled training image, processing the unlabeled training image using the VAE to determine the latent representation of the unlabeled training image and to generate a reconstruction of the unlabeled training image in accordance with current values of the parameters of the VAE, and adjusting current values of the parameters of the VAE by optimizing a loss function that depends on a quality of the reconstruction and also on a degree of independence between the latent factors in the latent representation of the unlabeled training image.
