Koopman Invariants as Drivers of Emergent Time-Series Clustering in Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures
AAAI 2026technical
Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs), a powerful class of self-supervised models, exhibit an unexplained ability to cluster time-series data by their underlying dynamical regimes. We propose a novel theoretical explanation for this phenomenon, hypothesizing that JEPA
