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.

arXiv:2607. 26924v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work on LeWorldModel (LeWM) has shown that the Sketched Isotropic Gaussian Regularizer (SIGReg) enables stable end-to-end world-model learning from pixels by regularizing the latent marginal distribution toward an isotropic Gaussian, thereby preventing representation collapse.

CoVA introduces a lightweight framework that composes VAE features online to provide stage‑wise guidance for flow‑matching training, improving semantic discrimination and spatial structure without extra inference overhead. By jointly training a small latent composer with class supervision, masked reconstruction, and flip consistency, CoVA aligns intermediate SiT features early and later uses detached composer posteriors for sample‑dependent soft‑label conditioning. On ImageNet 256×256, CoVA cuts SiT‑XL/2 FID from 17.2 to 7.4 in 400K steps and achieves an FID of 2.03 in only 400 epochs with classifier‑free guidance, adding just 8.5 M training‑only parameters.

Recent work on LeWorldModel (LeWM) has shown that the Sketched Isotropic Gaussian Regularizer (SIGReg) enables stable end-to-end world-model learning from pixels by regularizing the latent marginal distribution toward an isotropic Gaussian, thereby preventing representation collapse. While effective and elegant in single-task settings, this recipe does not extend reliably to multi-task training, leading to substantially worse downstream behavior-cloning performance.
The paper introduces Global Transport (GT), a class‑agnostic optimal‑transport coupling that can be computed without class labels. GT associates different conditions with distinct regions of the source noise, which degrades performance when used without guidance but consistently improves generation when combined with classifier‑free guidance across various domains, model scales, and sampling budgets. The authors argue that coupling design should be evaluated under guided flow conditions rather than unguided generation, and demonstrate GT’s benefits on both discrete class‑conditioned and continuous text‑conditioned image generation.
