Gaussian Joint Embeddings For Self-Supervised Representation Learning

ArXi:2603.26799v1 Announce Type: new Self-supervised representation learning often relies on deterministic predictive architectures to align context and target views in latent space. While effective in many settings, such methods are limited in genuinely multi-modal inverse problems, where squared-loss prediction collapses towards conditional averages, and they frequently depend on architectural asymmetries to prevent representation collapse. In this work, we propose a probabilistic alternative based on generative joint modeling. We.
