PUG: Photorealistic and Semantically Controllable Synthetic Data for Representation Learning
Florian Bordes, Shashank Shekhar, Mark Ibrahim +3
Synthetic image datasets offer unmatched advantages for designing and evaluating deep neural networks: they make it possible to (i) render as many data samples as needed, (ii) prec…
Stochastic positional embeddings improve masked image modeling
Amir Bar, Florian Bordes, Assaf Shocher +6
Masked Image Modeling (MIM) is a promising self-supervised learning approach that enables learning from unlabeled images. Despite its recent success, learning good representations…
Objectives Matter: Understanding the Impact of Self-Supervised Objectives on Vision Transformer Representations
Shashank Shekhar, Florian Bordes, Pascal Vincent +1
Joint-embedding based learning (e.g., SimCLR, MoCo, DINO) and reconstruction-based learning (e.g., BEiT, SimMIM, MAE) are the two leading paradigms for self-supervised learning of…
A surprisingly simple technique to control the pretraining bias for better transfer: Expand or Narrow your representation
Florian Bordes, Samuel Lavoie, Randall Balestriero +2
Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) models rely on a pretext task to learn representations. Because this pretext task differs from the downstream tasks used to evaluate the performance…
Do SSL Models Have Déjà Vu? A Case of Unintended Memorization in Self-supervised Learning
Casey Meehan, Florian Bordes, Pascal Vincent +2
Self-supervised learning (SSL) algorithms can produce useful image representations by learning to associate different parts of natural images with one another. However, when taken…
A Cookbook of Self-Supervised Learning
Randall Balestriero, Mark Ibrahim, Vlad Sobal +16
Self-supervised learning, dubbed the dark matter of intelligence, is a promising path to advance machine learning. Yet, much like cooking, training SSL methods is a delicate art wi…
