Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products for performing semi-supervised contrastive learning of visual representations are provided. For example, the present disclosure provides systems and methods that leverage particular data augmentation schemes and a learnable nonlinear transformation between the representation and the contrastive loss to provide improved visual representations. Further, the present disclosure also provides improvements for semi-supervised contrastive learning. For example, computer-implemented method may include performing semi-supervised contrastive learning based on a set of one or more unlabeled training data, generating an image classification model based on a portion of a plurality of layers in a projection head neural network used in performing the contrastive learning, performing fine-tuning of the image classification model based on a set of one or more labeled training data, and after performing the fine-tuning, distilling the image classification model to a student model comprising a relatively smaller number of parameters than the image classification model.
