A self-supervised learning approach constructs latent spaces that support semantically meaningful operations, analogous to operational amplifiers. The resulting “operational latent spaces” (OpLaS) demonstrate semantic structure and common transformational operations with inherent meaning. Some OpLaS are discovered unintentionally while pursuing other self-supervised learning objectives, revealing useful properties among space relationships. Intentional creation of OpLaS is also explored via novel layers like FiLMR, enabling ring-like symmetries found in musical constructions.

A new way to create special spaces using artificial intelligence can help with tasks that require semantic meaning. These “operational latent spaces” (OpLaS) not only group similar things together but also allow for transformations and operations that make sense semantically. Sometimes, these spaces are discovered accidentally while trying to achieve something else, which can lead to interesting findings. The paper focuses on creating these spaces intentionally using self-supervised learning.
