Your Probabilistic JEPA Is Secretly a Hidden Markov Model: A State-Space Interpretation of Joint-Embedding Predictive Learning
A new arXiv paper (2608.13621v1) reveals that the Predictive Information Bottleneck VJEPA (PIB-VJEPA) model is mathematically equivalent to a hidden Markov model (HMM), with its stochastic context enc…
