SJEPA: Learning Elegant Latent Dynamics with Hybrid Symbolic-Neural Predictors
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.04060v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Joint-embedding predictive architectures learn abstract states by predicting target embeddings from context embeddings, but their transition models are typically opaque neural maps. We introduce SJEPA, a reconstruction-free JEPA framework that learns predictive representations whose induced dynamics admit compact symbolic descriptions. Its hybrid transition combines a symbolic law with a regularised neural correction for dynamics outside the selected grammar. The central principle is to learn the simplest adequate dynamics: representation const
