HiT-JEPA: A Hierarchical Self-supervised Trajectory Embedding Framework for Similarity Computation

arXiv:2507.00028v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The representation of urban trajectory data plays a critical role in effectively analyzing spatial movement patterns. Despite considerable progress, the challenge of designing trajectory representations that can capture diverse and complementary information remains an open research problem. Existing methods struggle in incorporating trajectory fine-grained details and high-level summary in a single model, limiting their ability to attend to both long-term dependencies while preserving local nuances. To address this, we propose HiT-JEPA (Hiera
The rapid advancement of AI and the increasing complexity of real-world data, particularly trajectory information, necessitate more sophisticated representation methods for effective analysis.
Improved trajectory embedding frameworks like HiT-JEPA can unlock new insights into urban development, logistics, and autonomous systems, impacting smart city planning and resource allocation.
This research introduces a hierarchical self-supervised method that captures both fine-grained details and high-level summaries of trajectories, overcoming limitations of previous models.
