Graph-JEPA models fail to capture instance information despite healthy metrics

Researchers have identified a critical issue in Graph-JEPA models, where standard evaluation metrics like linear probing and effective rank can indicate healthy performance even when the model fails to capture meaningful instance information. The study details how a Graph-JEPA, trained on a scientific reasoning graph, achieved high accuracy and rank scores but failed to retrieve usable instance data. A subsequent repair to the model addressed this collapse, but revealed that the repaired metric could saturate on irrelevant structural information, highlighting limitations in current evaluation methods for complex graph-based reasoning tasks.
