• Abstract: A good clustering algorithm can discover natural groupings in data. These groupings, if used wisely, provide a form of weak supervision for learning representations. In this work, we present Clustering-based Contrastive Learning (CCL), a new clustering-based representation learning approach that uses labels obtained from clustering along with video constraints to learn discriminative face features. We demonstrate our method on the challenging task of learning representations for video face clustering. Through several ablation studies, we analyze the impact of creating pair-wise positive and negative labels from different sources. Experiments on three challenging video face clustering datasets: BBT-0101, BF-0502, and ACCIO show that CCL achieves a new state-of-the-art on all datasets.

  Sparse and noisy images (SNIs) pose significant challenges for effective representation learning and clustering. We propose Dual Advancement of Representation Learning and Clustering (DARLC) to enhance the representations derived from masked image modeling. Our framework offers a comprehensive approach that improves the learning of representations by enhancing their local perceptibility, distinctiveness, and the understanding of relational semantics.

  We extend the mainstream contrastive learning paradigm to a cluster-level scheme, where all the data subjected to the same cluster contribute to a unified representation. We define a set of categorical variables as clustering assignment confidence, which links the instance-level learning track with the cluster-level one. By reparametrizing the assignment variables, TCC is trained end-to-end, requiring no alternating steps.

  We propose a novel graph contrastive learning framework, which is then applied to the clustering task and we come up with the Graph Constrastive Clustering(GCC) method.

On the other hand, a novel graph-based contrastive learning strategy is proposed to learn more compact clustering assignments.
