ScaleAware-JEPA: Latent Representation for Discovery in Multiscale Physical Fields

arXiv:2606.29723v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continuous physical fields represent a large fraction of data under scientific investigation. Their multiscale structures are central to discovery, yet useful coordinates are not known in advance. Standard self-supervised methods define context and targets in fixed image coordinates, posing a predictive task misaligned with fields organized across a continuous scale hierarchy. We introduce ScaleAware-JEPA, a framework that constructs dense, label-free latent coordinates for continuous scalar fields. Constrained Diffusion Decomposition (CDD) separ

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous advancement in AI, particularly in self-supervised learning and generative models, is enabling new approaches for understanding complex scientific data.

Why it’s important

ScaleAware-JEPA offers a method to create label-free latent coordinates for continuous scalar fields, which can accelerate discovery in vast scientific datasets where explicit annotations are infeasible.
