Does a Shared Temperature Imply a Shared Angular Scale in Probabilistic Contrastive Learning?

Ningkang Peng, Qianfeng Yu, Jingyang Mao +4

In probabilistic contrastive learning, a shared temperature is commonly interpreted as a shared similarity scale, but this interpretation does not hold for high-dimensional distrib…
