What changed
Applied different noise levels across token subsets and matched mixed-input features to a cleaner internal target, combining representation prediction with standard flow loss without an externally pretrained representation teacher.
Scientific scope
Applied different noise levels across token subsets and matched mixed-input features to a cleaner internal target, combining representation prediction with standard flow loss without an externally pretrained representation teacher. Flow matching, denoising and self-supervised alignment have predecessors, including independently noised sequence tokens. Scoped delta is dual-noise internal feature prediction combined with flow training, not invention of arbitrary heterogeneous noise. No external teacher encoder does not mean no training data, text supervision, autoencoder or extra forward cost. Report/index/arXiv dates differ; no exact first-disclosure-day priority inferred.
