用参数分解方法实现无监督变换分类,突破传统解耦局限。
Transformation Categorization Based on Group Decomposition Theory Using Parameter Division

- 将变换参数拆分,通过同态约束识别正规子群,实现群分解。
- 在旋转、平移、缩放的图像对上验证,分类准确率显著提升。
- 无需运动或等距假设,适用于交换与非交换情形,适合结构化表示学习研究者。
表示学习旨在无监督地获取有意义的感官表示,并能模拟人类发展过程。尽管许多神经网络可习得有用特征,但何为‘优质’表示仍缺乏系统解释。本文研究在代数约束下对输入对间变换的无监督分类。经典解耦方法依赖各因子独立,当因子耦合时失效。先前基于伽罗瓦理论的方法通过正规子群分解群,学习两个变换的乘积并约束一个因子在正规子群中,覆盖交换与非交换情形。但该方法依赖运动和等距等辅助假设,且实验无法区分理论与假设的影响。本文提出参数分解:对单个变换的参数进行拆分,施加同态约束将完整变换映射至某一成分,将固定该成分于单位元时的变换集合定义为正规子群。该方法摒弃了以往辅助假设,适用范围更广。在涉及旋转、平移、缩放的图像对上评估,消融实验证明群分解约束驱动了正确分类。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Representation learning seeks meaningful sensory representations without supervision and can model aspects of human development. Although many neural networks empirically learn useful features, a principled account of what makes a representation "good" remains elusive. We study unsupervised categorization of transformations between pairs of inputs under algebraic constraints. Classical disentanglement favors mutually independent factors and fails when factors are coupled. Our prior Galois-theoretic approach decomposes a group via normal subgroups by learning a product of two transformations with one factor constrained to a normal subgroup, covering both commutative and non-commutative cases. That method, however, relied on auxiliary assumptions (e.g., motion and isometry restrictions) not required by decomposition theory, and ablations did not separate theory-based from auxiliary effects. We propose parameter division for a single transformation: we split its parameter into components, impose homomorphism constraints mapping the full transformation to one component, and identify the normal subgroup as the set of transformations when that component is fixed to the identity. This formulation drops the previous auxiliary assumptions and applies more broadly. We evaluate on image pairs involving rotation, translation, and scale; ablations show that group-decomposition constraints drive appropriate categorization.
