Representation Learning is a process in machine learning where algorithms extract meaningful patterns from raw data to create representations that are easier to understand and process. These representations can be designed for interpretability, reveal hidden features, or be used for transfer learning. They are valuable across many fundamental machine learning tasks like image classification and retrieval.
Deep neural networks can be considered representation learning models that typically encode information which is projected into a different subspace. These representations are then usually passed on to a linear classifier to, for instance, train a classifier.
Representation learning can be divided into:
- Supervised representation learning: learning representations on task A using annotated data and used to solve task B
- Unsupervised representation learning: learning representations on a task in an unsupervised way (label-free data). These are then used to address downstream tasks and reducing the need for annotated data when learning news tasks. Powerful models like GPT and BERT leverage unsupervised representation learning to tackle language tasks.
More recently, self-supervised learning (SSL) is one of the main drivers behind unsupervised representation learning in fields like computer vision and NLP.

How Powerful are Graph Neural Networks?
Here, we present a theoretical framework for analyzing the expressive power of GNNs to capture different graph structures.
Hierarchical Graph Representation Learning with Differentiable Pooling
Recently, graph neural networks (GNNs) have revolutionized the field of graph representation learning through effectively learned node embeddings, and achieved state-of-the-art results in tasks such as node classification and link prediction.
Learning to Prompt for Vision-Language Models
Large pre-trained vision-language models like CLIP have shown great potential in learning representations that are transferable across a wide range of downstream tasks.
BLIP-2: Bootstrapping Language-Image Pre-training with Frozen Image Encoders and Large Language Models
The cost of vision-and-language pre-training has become increasingly prohibitive due to end-to-end training of large-scale models.
Challenges in Representation Learning: A report on three machine learning contests
The ICML 2013 Workshop on Challenges in Representation Learning focused on three challenges: the black box learning challenge, the facial expression recognition challenge, and the multimodal learning challenge.
Very Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Raw Waveforms
Our CNNs, with up to 34 weight layers, are efficient to optimize over very long sequences (e. g., vector of size 32000), necessary for processing acoustic waveforms.

NiftyNet provides a modular deep-learning pipeline for a range of medical imaging applications including segmentation, regression, image generation and representation learning applications.
Strategies for Pre-training Graph Neural Networks
Many applications of machine learning require a model to make accurate pre-dictions on test examples that are distributionally different from training ones, while task-specific labels are scarce during training.
ConvNeXt V2: Co-designing and Scaling ConvNets with Masked Autoencoders
This co-design of self-supervised learning techniques and architectural improvement results in a new model family called ConvNeXt V2, which significantly improves the performance of pure ConvNets on various recognition benchmarks, including ImageNet classification, COCO detection, and ADE20K segmentation.
Unsupervised Learning of Visual Representations by Solving Jigsaw Puzzles
By following the principles of self-supervision, we build a convolutional neural network (CNN) that can be trained to solve Jigsaw puzzles as a pretext task, which requires no manual labeling, and then later repurposed to solve object classification and detection.
