The paper proposes a structured version of the Information Bottleneck (IB) that separates label-relevant structure from within-condition variation using a dual-bottleneck formulation. It introduces a conditional KL term that targets within-condition information, allowing explicit control over nuisance-like variation in learned representations. Experiments demonstrate improved performance in low-data classification and consistent gains on dense prediction tasks.

The paper introduces Φ-Omni, a self‑supervised learning framework for computational pathology that disentangles synergistic information across histology, genomics, and clinical reports using Partial Information Decomposition. By employing a Synergistic Information Bottleneck and a ΦID objective, the method suppresses redundant signals while maximizing irreducible cross‑modal synergy, leading to improved few‑shot performance on breast and lung whole‑slide image datasets. The authors demonstrate that Φ-Omni outperforms both supervised and other SSL baselines on eight external tasks.

JEPAMatch introduces a new semi‑supervised learning framework that replaces traditional output‑thresholding with explicit geometric shaping of latent representations. By combining the FlexMatch loss with a latent‑space regularization inspired by LeJEPA, the method encourages isotropic Gaussian structure in the embedding space, mitigating class imbalance and noisy pseudo‑labels. Experiments on CIFAR‑100, STL‑10, and Tiny‑ImageNet show consistent performance gains and faster convergence compared to existing FixMatch‑based baselines.
