Before revision:  the separation of latent codes for intrinsic (i.e. identity) and extrinsic(i.e. pose) geometry .
After revision:  the separation of latent codes for intrinsic (i.e. identity) and extrinsic(i.e. pose) geometry , is a prominent task for generative models of non-Euclidean data such as 3D deformable models. It provides greater interpretability of the latent space, and leads to more control in generation.
