DES-JEPA: Learning a Shared Vocabulary for High-Dimensional Discrete Event Sequences
arXiv:2610.38445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Temporal foundation models such as Chronos and TimesFM generalize across domains through a shared numerical observation space. In contrast, discrete event sequences (DESs), including operational event logs or patient clinical-event trajectories, have domain-specific event vocabularies whose labels lack a consistent correspondence across domains. Beyond this lack of consistency, the number of distinct events in real-world settings is high enough to…
