Contrastive Representation Learning with Trainable Augmentation Channel

Masanori Koyama, Kentaro Minami, Takeru Miyato +1

In contrastive representation learning, data representation is trained so that it can classify the image instances even when the images are altered by augmentations. However, depen…

Estimating Piecewise Monotone Signals

Kentaro Minami

We study the problem of estimating piecewise monotone vectors. This problem can be seen as a generalization of the isotonic regression that allows a small number of order-violating…
