Integrating Auxiliary Information in Self-supervised Learning

no code implementations5 Jun 2021 Yao-Hung Hubert Tsai, Tianqin Li, Weixin Liu, Peiyuan Liao, Ruslan Salakhutdinov, Louis-Philippe Morency

Our approach contributes as follows: 1) Comparing to conventional self-supervised representations, the auxiliary-information-infused self-supervised representations bring the performance closer to the supervised representations; 2) The presented Cl-InfoNCE can also work with unsupervised constructed clusters (e. g., k-means clusters) and outperform strong clustering-based self-supervised learning approaches, such as the Prototypical Contrastive Learning (PCL) method; 3) We show that Cl-InfoNCE may be a better approach to leverage the data clustering information, by comparing it to the baseline approach - learning to predict the clustering assignments with cross-entropy loss.
