arXiv:2512. 00239v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The effectiveness of self-supervised learning (SSL) for physiological time series depends on the ability of a pretraining objective to preserve information about the underlying physiological state while filtering out unrelated noise.
Normalizing flows are powerful generative models that learn an invertible mapping between complex data distributions and simple latent distributions, typically a standard normal density. However, this choice of latent density can impose unnecessary complexity on the learned flow transformation due to the topological mismatch between the latent and data densities, leading to slower training and suboptimal performance.
arXiv:2606. 04280v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contrastive learning has become a leading paradigm for self-supervised representation learning, yet the conditions under which it recovers meaningful latent geometry remain incompletely understood.
arXiv:2602. 04643v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Time-series anomaly prediction aims to forecast future system failures before they fully emerge, making latent predictive models such as JEPA a promising framework for capturing precursor dynamics.
arXiv:2607. 22149v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite recent advances, self-supervised learning (SSL) models and Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) remain susceptible to learning spurious biases in the dataset.
