arXiv:2606.17603v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In Self-Supervised Learning (SSL), preventing representation collapse by explicitly enforcing a uniform distribution on the unit hypersphere has proven to be effective. However, current frameworks typically rely on sliced statistical regularizers such as SIGReg (used in LeJEPA) and SUSReg (used in SPHERE-JEPA), which approximate this continuous objective via Monte Carlo sampling along random 1D directions. This stochasticity injects projection variance into the training gradients, destabilizing optimization, and hindering convergence. In this wor
The paper addresses current limitations in self-supervised learning methods that hinder optimization and convergence, proposing a new family of statistical regularizers.
Improved self-supervised learning techniques can lead to more robust and efficient AI models, reducing training costs and improving performance across various applications.
This research offers a path to more stable and effective training for large-scale self-supervised models, potentially accelerating their development and deployment.
