Module 07: Audio & 3D-JEPA

Multi-Modal Expansion: Applying predictive architectures to sensory data beyond pixels and text.

Universal Predictive Architectures

JEPA principles are modality-agnostic. Whether processing sound waves or geometric point clouds, the objective remains the same: predict abstract features of masked regions from visible context.

Audio-JEPA learns semantic representations of sound by masking portions of a spectrogram. 3D-JEPA (Point-JEPA) processes spatial data, predicting the geometry of occluded objects in a 3D environment.

Interactive Simulations

Audio: Spectrogram Masking

Click to mask frequency/time blocks. The model predicts the latent audio features.

3D: Point Cloud Completion

Drag to rotate. Blue points are visible context; Red points are predicted geometry.
