Self-supervised Pretraining of Visual Features in the Wild

TLDR
Recently, self-supervised learning methods like MoCo, SimCLR, BYOL and SwAV have reduced the gap with supervised methods as mentioned in this paper. But self-learning cannot learn from any random image and from any unbounded dataset.
Abstract
Recently, self-supervised learning methods like MoCo, SimCLR, BYOL and SwAV have reduced the gap with supervised methods. These results have been achieved in a control environment, that is the highly curated ImageNet dataset. However, the premise of self-supervised learning is that it can learn from any random image and from any unbounded dataset. In this work, we explore if self-supervision lives to its expectation by training large models on random, uncurated images with no supervision. Our final SElf-supERvised (SEER) model, a RegNetY with 1.3B parameters trained on 1B random images with 512 GPUs achieves 84.2% top-1 accuracy, surpassing the best self-supervised pretrained model by 1% and confirming that self-supervised learning works in a real world setting. Interestingly, we also observe that self-supervised models are good few-shot learners achieving 77.9% top-1 with access to only 10% of ImageNet. Code: this https URL

Emerging Properties in Self-Supervised Vision Transformers

TL;DR: In this paper, self-supervised learning provides new properties to Vision Transformer (ViT) that stand out compared to convolutional networks (convnets) beyond the fact that adapting selfsupervised methods to this architecture works particularly well, they make the following observations: first, self-vised ViT features contain explicit information about the semantic segmentation of an image, which does not emerge as clearly with supervised ViTs, nor with convnets.

Unsupervised Learning of Visual Features by Contrasting Cluster Assignments

TL;DR: SwAV as discussed by the authors uses a "swapped" prediction mechanism where they predict the cluster assignment of a view from the representation of another view, instead of comparing features directly as in contrastive learning.
