SSMProbe framework reveals importance of token order in visual representations

Researchers have developed SSMProbe, a new framework for analyzing visual representations in AI models. This method utilizes State Space Models (SSMs) to account for the critical role of token order, challenging the traditional approach of treating patch representations as unstructured data. SSMProbe demonstrates that the sequence of tokens significantly impacts performance, especially when using learned soft permutations to exploit this order-dependent heterogeneity in representations.

    Rethink MAE with Linear Time-Invariant Dynamics

    arXiv:2605.00915v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Standard representation probing for visual models relies on mathematically permutation-invariant operations like Global Average Pooling (GAP) or CLS tokens, treating patch representations as an unstructured bag-of-words. We challeng…
