Latest addition to the toolbox of human species is Artificial Intelligence(AI). Thus far, AI has made significant progress in low stake low risk scenarios such as playing Go and we are currently in a transition toward medium stake scenarios such as Visual Dialog. In my thesis, I argue that we need to incorporate controlled de-entanglement as first class object to succeed in this transition. I present mathematical analysis from information theory to show that employing stochasticity leads to controlled de-entanglement of relevant factors of variation at various levels. Based on this, I highlight results from initial experiments that depict efficacy of the proposed framework. I conclude this writeup by a roadmap of experiments that show the applicability of this framework to scalability, flexibility and interpretibility.
