# Annotated guide to Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture

A detailed, annotated explanation of JEPA, a self-supervised learning framework proposed by Yann LeCun, has been published. It clarifies how JEPA learns abstract representations by predicting missing parts of inputs in a latent space. This resource helps researchers understand a key alternative to contrastive and generative methods in AI.
