SR-JEPA: Learning Predictive Latent State in 3D Scenes

arXiv:2608. 05774v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Joint-embedding predictive architectures learn by predicting latent representations of missing observations, yet many masked JEPAs are evaluated primarily through the encoders they produce.

PGL-3D: Towards Progressive Geometric Learning for 3D Visual Query Localization

PGL-3D introduces a progressive geometric learning framework for 3D visual query localization, where intermediate cuboids guide feature aggregation and refinement. The method predicts a complete cuboid for each proposal, selects reference observations via Query‑Tube‑Memory, pools query‑conditioned features, and re‑predicts refined cuboids. A training‑only objective, ST‑D9O, supervises cuboid geometry at every stage, yielding significant performance gains over prior baselines.

GoDeep: Annotation-Free Open-Vocabulary 3D Scene Understanding via Language-Space Lifting

GoDeep is an annotation‑free method for open‑vocabulary 3D scene understanding that uses a vision‑language model solely as a translator to generate structured, entity‑level descriptions of each image. These descriptions are projected and aggregated in a language‑only embedding space, eliminating the need for a 3D training corpus or domain‑specific encoder. The approach achieves competitive performance on ScanNet++ and a cultural heritage benchmark, accurately localizes out‑of‑vocabulary objects, and offers explainable, point‑level predictions.

Subspace-Decomposed JEPAs: Disentangling Progression and Content in Latent World Models

Subspace-Decomposed JEPAs (SD-JEPA) split the latent space of Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures into two orthogonal subspaces: a low-dimensional progression subspace trained with a cosine-margin triplet loss and a high-dimensional content subspace regularised by SIGReg. The authors prove that the anti-collapse forces act on disjoint coordinates, allowing additive composition rather than competition. SD-JEPA outperforms the LeWM baseline on most control benchmarks and the strongest non-LeWM JEPA baseline on Push‑T, with a subspace-ablation confirming the split as essential. The 1‑D angular progression coordinate serves as a scene-aware compass, advancing with task progress, regressing on backtracking, and relocalising under perturbations to separate surprise from meaning.

GAE: Learning a Geometry-Native Latent Space for 3D-Consistent World Generation

The paper introduces the Geometry‑Native Autoencoder (GAE), a compact latent space that can be decoded into appearance, depth, camera parameters, and point maps, enabling 3D‑consistent world generation. By reparameterizing a geometry foundation model’s features, GAE replaces traditional appearance‑centric latents and improves visual quality and 3D coherence, achieving significant reductions in FVD and camera‑trajectory error on benchmark datasets. The work demonstrates that a geometry‑native latent space can serve as a shared interface between perception and generation models.
