| An illustration of the proposed SimCLR framework. The CNN and MLP layers are trained simultaneously to yield projections that are similar for augmented versions of the same image, while being dissimilar for different images, even if those images are of the same class of object. The trained model not only does well at identifying different transformations of the same image, but also learns representations of similar concepts (e.g., chairs vs. dogs), which later can be associated with labels through fine-tuning. |
