Researchers have introduced Latent Jump Models (LJMs), a new framework for analyzing irregularly observed time series. Unlike traditional models that rely on smooth ODE or SDE dynamics, LJMs incorporate discrete, Poisson-driven events that cause instantaneous state transitions. The models feature state-dependent intensity and mark distributions, defining a time-homogeneous Markov process. For training, a novel event-augmented path-space evidence lower bound (ELBO) and Scan-Parallel Variational Inference (SPVI) were developed, enabling faster and more scalable training by sampling the latent event configuration before state recurrence evaluation.
