UR-JEPA: Uniform Rectifiability as a Regularizer for Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures
A central difficulty in training Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) is preventing representation collapse. LeJEPA addresses this by enforcing an isotropic Gaussian target on the embeddings via Sketched Isotropic Gaussian Regularization (SIGReg). This target is in tension with the manifold hypothesis, which expects embeddings to concentrate on a low-dimensional subset of the ambient space. We propose \emph{UR-JEPA}, which targets a uniformly $n$-rectifiable measure of local tangent dimension $n$ at small scales, realized through a Gaussian-kernel smoothed Carleson-type square function $\mathcal{L}^{\text{CGLT}}$, with a complementary Jones $β$-number formulation. On Inet10, U...
