Martingale-Consistent Self-Supervised Learning

arXiv:2605.11846v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-supervised learning (SSL) is often deployed under changing information, such as shorter histories, missing features, or partially observed images. In these settings, predictions from coarse and refined views should be coherent: before refinement, the coarse-view prediction should match the average prediction expected after refinement. Martingales formalize this coherence principle, but standard SSL objectives do not enforce it. Unlike invari
