Content-Style Identification via Differential Independence

Generative analysis often models multi-domain observations as nonlinear mixtures of domain-invariant content variables and domain-specific style variables. Identifying both factors from unpaired domains enables tasks such as domain transfer and counterfactual data generation. Prior work establishes identifiability under (block-wise) statistical independence between content and style, or via sparse Jacobian assumptions on the nonlinear mixing function, but such conditions can be restrictive in practice. In this work, we introduce content-style differential independence (CSDI), an alternative structural condition requiring that infinitesimal variations in content and style induce orthogonal directions on the data manifold, thereby enabling identifiability even when content and style are dependent and the Jacobian is dense. We operationalize this condition through a blockwise orthogonality constraint on the Jacobian subspaces associated with content and style. To support high-dimensional generative models, we design a stochastic regularizer based on numerical Jacobian approximation, enabling scalable training in settings such as high-resolution image generation. Experiments across multiple datasets corroborate the identifiability analysis and demonstrate practical benefits on counterfactual generation and domain translation.

Domain Transfer Becomes Identifiable via a Single Alignment

Domain transfer (DT) maps source to target distributions and supports tasks such as unsupervised image-to-image translation, single-cell analysis, and cross-platform medical imaging. However, DT is fundamentally ill-posed: push-forward mappings are generally non-identifiable, as measure-preserving automorphisms (MPAs) preserve marginals while altering cross-domain correspondences, leading to content-misaligned translation. Recent work shows that MPAs can be eliminated by jointly transferring multiple corresponding source/target conditional distributions, but supervision signals labeling such conditionals are not always available in practice. We develop an alternative route to DT identifiability. Under a structural sparsity condition on the Jacobian support pattern, we show that distribution matching together with a single paired anchor sample suffices to identify the ground-truth transfer -- requiring substantially less supervision than prior approaches. To enable practical high-dimensional learning, we further propose an efficient Jacobian sparsity regularizer based on randomized masked finite differences, yielding a scalable surrogate without explicit Jacobian evaluation. Empirical results on synthetic and real-world DT tasks validate the theory.

Deep Spectrum Cartography: Completing Radio Map Tensors Using Learned Neural Models

The spectrum cartography (SC) technique constructs multi-domain (e.g., frequency, space, and time) radio frequency (RF) maps from limited measurements, which can be viewed as an ill-posed tensor completion problem. Model-based cartography techniques often rely on handcrafted priors (e.g., sparsity, smoothness and low-rank structures) for the completion task. Such priors may be inadequate to capture the essence of complex wireless environments -- especially when severe shadowing happens. To circumvent such challenges, offline-trained deep neural models of radio maps were considered for SC, as deep neural networks (DNNs) are able to "learn" intricate underlying structures from data. However, such deep learning (DL)-based SC approaches encounter serious challenges in both off-line model learning (training) and completion (generalization), possibly because the latent state space for generating the radio maps is prohibitively large. In this work, an emitter radio map disaggregation-based approach is proposed, under which only individual emitters' radio maps are modeled by DNNs. This way, the learning and generalization challenges can both be substantially alleviated. Using the learned DNNs, a fast nonnegative matrix factorization-based two-stage SC method and a performance-enhanced iterative optimization algorithm are proposed. Theoretical aspects -- such as recoverability of the radio tensor, sample complexity, and noise robustness -- under the proposed framework are characterized, and such theoretical properties have been elusive in the context of DL-based radio tensor completion. Experiments using synthetic and real-data from indoor and heavily shadowed environments are employed to showcase the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
