Mean Squared Error Can Ignore
Small but Task-Relevant Features

CHAPTER 15. REPRESENTATION LEARNING
Input Reconstruction
Figure 15.5: An autoencoder trained with mean squared error for a robotics task has
failed to reconstruct a ping pong ball. The existence of the ping pong ball and all its
spatial coordinates are important underlying causal factors that generate the image and
are relevant to the robotics task. Unfortunately, the autoencoder has limited capacity,
and the training with mean squared error did not identify the ping pong ball as being
salient enough to encode. Images graciously provided by Chelsea Finn.
The ping pong ball vanishes because it is not large
enough to significantly affect the mean squared error

Adversarial Losses Preserve Any Features
with Highly Structured Patterns

CHAPTER 15. REPRESENTATION LEARNING
Ground Truth MSE Adversarial
Figure 15.6: Predictive generative networks provide an example of the importance of
learning which features are salient. In this example, the predictive generative network
has been trained to predict the appearance of a 3-D model of a human head at a specific
viewing angle. (Left)Ground truth. This is the correct image, which the network should
emit. (Center)Image produced by a predictive generative network trained with mean
squared error alone. Because the ears do not cause an extreme difference in brightness
compared to the neighboring skin, they were not sufficiently salient for the model to learn
Mean squared error loses the ear because it causes a
small change in few pixels. Adversarial loss preserves
the ear because it is easy to notice its absence.

the concept of gender from the concept of wearing glasses. If we begin with the repre-
sentation of the concept of a man with glasses, then subtract the vector representing the
concept of a man without glasses, and finally add the vector representing the concept
of a woman without glasses, we obtain the vector representing the concept of a woman
