SplitJEPA: Disentangling Invariant-Variant Structure Without Reconstruction

udmrzn · x · 2026-10-11

New work SplitJEPA explores identifying invariant-variant structure in latent representations without reconstructing observations. While DSReg recovers every latent of the true world model, the authors show two blocks often suffice for reasoning and collaboration — an invariant part (content, objects) and a variant part (noise, backgrounds) — both learned without reconstruction.
