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.

How many labelers do you have? A closer look at gold-standard labels

The paper examines the common practice of aggregating multiple labels per instance into a single ‘true’ label for supervised learning. By creating a theoretical model, the authors show that using the full, non‑aggregated label information can make it easier to train well‑calibrated models, though the benefits depend on the specific problem. They predict when non‑aggregated labels will improve learning and validate these predictions on real datasets.
