The paper proposes a novel image clustering algorithm that leverages self-supervised pre-trained models and latent feature distribution optimization to enhance clustering performance. The authors demonstrate the effectiveness of their approach by fine-tuning pre-trained models on complex natural images, resulting in improved discriminative power of latent features. They also introduce a k-nearest neighbor-based method to further enhance discriminative power and optimize latent feature distributions. Experimental results on multiple datasets show that the proposed algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art clustering methods, achieving similar accuracy to supervised methods for small category sizes.

The paper develops a new way to group images together based on their features. It uses pre-trained models and adjusts them to better recognize patterns in natural images. The authors test this approach on different datasets and show that it works well, even matching the results of more complex supervised approaches. This is an important step forward for image clustering.
