Excursion-Adaptive Temporal Tokenization

Replace a uniformly sampled trajectory sequence by a binary temporal partition whose intervals are split only when the observed trajectory makes an excursion larger than a threshold. Encode one summary token per retained leaf, optionally including duration and endpoint displacement, so smooth trajectory regions receive fewer tokens while rapidly changing regions retain resolution.

Markov-coded synchronization-robust latent streams

Replace an independently generated discrete latent sequence or redundancy stream with a symmetric two-state Markov source whose transition probability is tuned or learned. Train the downstream transformer to reconstruct the semantic target after random insertions, while using the paper's insertion-capacity expression to select the latent rate and redundancy budget. The representation should preserve information under timing drift, repeated tokens, and inserted distractors better than iid token…
