Use of Conditional (possibly latent) variables (z) in predictor from original JEPA paper.

Hey Folks,

I have been looking through V-JEPA and its predecessors, and I am trying to find if V-JEPA is making use of the conditional variables in the predictor, as I am struggling to tell myself from the code (I am relatively new to ML). There is limited mentions of it in the I-JEPA and V-JEPA papers, so I was wondering if it is something for future research.

Thanks,
Adam

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point to inspect. Clarify whether conditional variables are intended, identify the relevant predictor implementation, and define the expected behavior before work can be started.
