Learning What's Real: Disentangling Signal and Measurement Artifacts in Multi-Sensor Data, with Applications to Astrophysics

arXiv:2604. 09787v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Data collected from the physical world is always a combination of multiple sources: an underlying signal from the physical process of interest and a signal from measurement-dependent artifacts from the sensor or instrument.

LESSViT: Robust Hyperspectral Representation Learning under Spectral Configuration Shift

LESSViT introduces a sensor‑flexible Vision Transformer for hyperspectral imagery that uses a low‑rank structured attention mechanism (LESS Attention) to efficiently model joint spatial‑spectral interactions. By reducing the complexity from ≠O(N^2C^2) to ≠O(rNC) and adding channel‑agnostic patch embedding with wavelength‑aware positional encoding, it supports flexible spectral inputs. A hyperspectral masked autoencoder (HyperMAE) with decoupled spatial‑spectral masking further enables robust pretraining, and experiments on the SpectralEarth benchmark show improved robustness to spectral shifts while maintaining competitive in‑distribution performance.
