InfoNCE Induces Gaussian Distribution

arXiv:2602. 24012v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Contrastive learning has become a cornerstone of modern representation learning, allowing training with massive unlabeled data for both task-specific and general (foundation) models.

GaussFusion: Towards Multimodal 3D Gaussian Pretraining

3D Gaussian Splatting provides an explicit representation that jointly models geometry and appearance, serving as a scalable foundation for 3D representation learning. Existing pre-training methods for Gaussian representations, such as masked Gaussian reconstruction, primarily capture local structures but offer limited semantic supervision.

Temporally Centered SIGReg Improves Multi-Task LeWorldModel Learning: From Analysis to Method

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.

Temporally Centered SIGReg Improves Multi-Task LeWorldModel Learning: From Analysis to Method

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.
