论文摘要
自我监督的学习最近在没有人类注释的情况下在表示学习方面取得了巨大的成功。主要的方法（即对比度学习）通常基于实例歧视任务，即单个样本被视为独立类别。但是，假定所有样品都是不同的，这与普通视觉数据集中类似样品的自然分组相矛盾，例如同一狗的多个视图。为了弥合差距，本文提出了一种自适应方法，该方法引入了软样本间关系，即自适应软化对比度学习（ASCL）。更具体地说，ASCL将原始实例歧视任务转换为多构想软歧视任务，并自适应地引入样本间关系。作为现有的自我监督学习框架的有效简明的插件模块，ASCL就性能和效率都实现了多个基准的最佳性能。代码可从https://github.com/mrchenfeng/ascl_icpr2022获得。
Self-supervised learning has recently achieved great success in representation learning without human annotations. The dominant method -- that is contrastive learning, is generally based on instance discrimination tasks, i.e., individual samples are treated as independent categories. However, presuming all the samples are different contradicts the natural grouping of similar samples in common visual datasets, e.g., multiple views of the same dog. To bridge the gap, this paper proposes an adaptive method that introduces soft inter-sample relations, namely Adaptive Soft Contrastive Learning (ASCL). More specifically, ASCL transforms the original instance discrimination task into a multi-instance soft discrimination task, and adaptively introduces inter-sample relations. As an effective and concise plug-in module for existing self-supervised learning frameworks, ASCL achieves the best performance on several benchmarks in terms of both performance and efficiency.
