This paper provides a comprehensive review of discriminative approaches to self-supervised learning in computer vision. Self-supervised learning extracts robust features from unlabeled data by deriving labels autonomously from the data itself, without manual annotation. The review examines various methods, including contrastive, self-distillation, knowledge distillation, feature decorrelation, and clustering techniques, that leverage the abundance of unlabeled data. The study investigates how these approaches evolve and currently perform on the standard ImageNet classification benchmark. Key findings include a comparison of self-supervised learning methods’ performance on this benchmark.

This paper looks at ways to teach computers to recognize things in pictures without needing human help. “Self-supervised learning” means using lots of pictures with no labels to figure out what’s in them. The study shows how different techniques, like making similar things look the same or grouping things together, can be used to learn from this data. It also compares these methods on a big test set of pictures to see which one works best.
