HQ-JEPA: Hybrid Quantum Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture for Cross-Modal Remote Sensing Representation Learning
arXiv CS.CV
•
We introduce HQ-JEPA, a hybrid quantum-classical joint-embedding predictive architecture for cross-modal remote sensing representation learning. The proposed framework extends JEPA-style masked latent prediction to paired Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery by predicting masked target representations from visible context regions while aligning heterogeneous modality features in a shared embedding space. To improve representation quality, HQ-JEPA combines four complementary objectives: latent token
