Schmidhuber: LeCun's JEPA is essentially his 1992 Predictability Maximization system
SchmidhuberAI · x · 2026-09-21
In an ongoing spat with LeCun and Hinton, Jürgen Schmidhuber claims JEPA (2022) — the heart of LeCun's new company — is essentially identical to his 1992 Predictability Maximization (PMAX) system, where two non-generative networks interact so one learns latent representations predictable from the other's latents. He links a detailed reference with extensive citations, calling LeCun's post misleading.
