OccJEPA treats occlusion as masking for amodal video segmentation by dropping tokens outside an object's visible mask and using a pre‑trained V‑JEPA 2.1 predictor to fill in the missing features, followed by a lightweight head that decodes these into complete masks. The resulting deterministic model is 33.5× faster than diffusion‑based state‑of‑the‑art methods and achieves higher accuracy on SAIL‑VOS, TAO‑Amodal (including a held‑out test split), and Kubric. Experiments show that the performance gains stem from the predictor’s pre‑trained weights rather than its size, with models ranging from 87 M to 1.85 B parameters.

PredErase is a training‑free method that removes objects and their photometric effects by guiding a frozen Fill model with predictive latent cues. It expands the user‑provided mask to a contact‑band region, uses I‑JEPA to generate a context‑conditioned target for the hole, and aligns Fill’s completions with this target while keeping surrounding pixels fixed. On benchmarks such as RemovalBench, RORD‑Val, and DEFACTO‑Val, PredErase improves the native FLUX.2 backbone for instance‑only masks, though supervised removers still outperform it on full‑image metrics.
LeVJEPA is a video encoder that eliminates the need for architectural asymmetries, exponential-moving-average target encoders, stop-gradients, and capacity-limited predictors used in prior self‑supervised methods. It trains a single encoder with an invariance loss over global and local views, regularized by SIGReg to prevent collapse, and achieves strong performance with far less pretraining compute. The approach also allows block‑causal attention, making temporal ordering a property of the encoder itself, and matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art baselines on both appearance‑centric and motion‑centric benchmarks.
The paper introduces FaVOS, a benchmark for Video Object Segmentation (VOS) that focuses on scenarios where target objects appear only intermittently over long videos. It demonstrates that the standard J&F metric can be gamed by empty predictions, allowing trivial models to outperform strong ones like SAM 3. To address this, the authors propose Volumetric J&F, which treats mask sequences as spatio‑temporal volumes, reducing the influence of target‑absence rewards while maintaining sensitivity to segmentation quality and temporal structure.

The paper introduces Action-Contrastive Masked Transition Modeling (AC‑MTM), a method that replaces the Gaussian regularizer used in Joint‑Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) with a contrastive inverse‑dynamics head. AC‑MTM trains a forward latent‑prediction model while an auxiliary inverse‑dynamics task forces the encoder to distinguish actions from latent transitions, preventing collapse without requiring a target network or reconstruction loss. Experiments on pixel‑control and multi‑object visual tasks show that AC‑MTM matches or surpasses the performance of the Gaussian‑based SIGReg regularizer, achieving up to 20–24 point improvements on the OGBench Visual Scene benchmark.
