arXiv:2606.18509v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable generalization in conditional latent variable models requires understanding both identifiability and extrapolation: how observed variation across attributes determines latent structure, and how that structure determines distributions at unseen attributes. However, existing identifiability and extrapolation guarantees are largely model-specific, with separate analyses in nonlinear ICA, causal representation learning, perturbation modeling, and related conditional latent variable models. We introduce concept modulation models (CMMs), an at
The proliferation of conditional latent variable models across AI applications necessitates a unified theoretical framework to ensure reliability and robustness.
A unified framework for identifiability and extrapolation in AI models could significantly enhance the trustworthiness and real-world applicability of advanced AI systems.
Current fragmented understandings of identifiability and extrapolation are replaced by a more cohesive theoretical foundation, potentially leading to more stable and predictable AI development.
