SparseJEPA is an extension of Joint Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPA) that integrates sparse representation learning to enhance the quality of learned representations.
SparseJEPA encourages shared latent space variables among data features with strong semantic relationships while maintaining predictive performance.
The architecture was tested on the CIFAR-100 dataset and a lightweight Vision Transformer for image classification and low-level tasks using transfer learning.
Incorporating sparsity improves the latent space, leading to more meaningful and interpretable representations.
