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.

Effective machine learning depends not only on how we model data, but also on what data we choose to collect. While large sequence models have revolutionized data modeling, the problem of automated data selection, or "intrinsic curiosity", remains a significant challenge.
arXiv:2607. 06607v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate long-term forecasting in complex systems is frequently compromised by dataset-level distribution shifts, where diverse underlying behavioral modes and evolving system states drive the dynamic multivariate time-series.
