Summary

Self-supervision over 482,444 JADES objects separated high-redshift galaxies and Little Red Dots into discoverable islands.

FM-JADES-v1 learned a joint embedding from multi-band imaging and catalog data without class labels. In a controlled three-band redshift test, its normalized median absolute deviation was 0.157 versus 0.44 for template fitting; the authors also report blind recovery of rare populations.
