Learning Kernels by Alignment for Multiclass Bayes Classification

The paper introduces a framework that learns the kernel used in kernel methods through alignment, leveraging the Collaborative Learning and Inference (CLaI) approach. It demonstrates that CLaI can be interpreted as a kernel alignment process and that its inference stage is equivalent to kernel Bayes classification with Parzen-window density estimation. By replacing cosine similarity with a learned Mahalanobis distance, the authors extend CLaI to multiclass classification, achieving higher accuracy, faster convergence, and lower calibration error on datasets such as CIFAR-10, PathMNIST, and SleepEDF, while also showing connections to Gaussian processes and competitive calibration in sepsis prediction.

JEPAMatch: Geometric Representation Shaping for Semi-Supervised Learning

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.
