A curated list of papers on disentangled representation learning inspired by https://github.com/sootlasten/disentangled-representation-papers and https://github.com/matthewvowels1/Awesome-VAEs.
Since the original curated list(sootlasten/disentangled-representation-papers) seems to be stopped now, and I would like to add some summarization using GitHub issues, I decided not to fork the repository but make a new curated list.
To respect the original repository, I've added a tag([copied]
) in front of the name of the paper which was originally listed in sootlasten/disentangled-representation-papers. I also use the star(☆
) and ?
notation to show the importance of the paper following the original repository. The judges of the original repository are remained, but ?
may be replaced by my judge.?
notation show that I haven't fully read the paper, and ☆
indicates the importance/quality of each paper (the larger the number of the stars, the better the importance/quality is).
