• Authors: Jayanth Reddy Regatti, Aniket Anand Deshmukh, Eren Manavoglu, Urun Dogan
• Abstract summary: We study the clustering ability of Bootstrap Your Own Latent (BYOL) and observe that features learnt using BYOL may not be optimal for clustering. We propose a novel consensus clustering based loss function, and train BYOL with the proposed loss in an end-to-end way that improves the clustering ability and outperforms similar clustering based methods.

• Abstract: Recent advances in deep clustering and unsupervised representation learning are based on the idea that different views of an input image (generated through data augmentation techniques) must either be closer in the representation space, or have a similar cluster assignment. Bootstrap Your Own Latent (BYOL) is one such representation learning algorithm that has achieved state-of-the-art results in self-supervised image classification on ImageNet under the linear evaluation protocol. However, the utility of the learnt features of BYOL to perform clustering is not explored. In this work, we study the clustering ability of BYOL and observe that features learnt using BYOL may not be optimal for clustering. We propose a novel consensus clustering based loss function, and train BYOL with the proposed loss in an end-to-end way that improves the clustering ability and outperforms similar clustering based methods on some popular computer vision datasets.

  We propose a new deep graph clustering method termed Reinforcement Graph Clustering. In our proposed method, cluster number determination and unsupervised representation learning are unified into a uniform framework. In order to conduct feedback actions, the clustering-oriented reward function is proposed to enhance the cohesion of the same clusters and separate the different clusters.

• You Never Cluster Alone [150.94921340034688]
  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. Specifically, on the one hand, the graph Laplacian based contrastive loss is proposed to learn more discriminative and clustering-friendly features. On the other hand, a novel graph-based contrastive learning strategy is proposed to learn more compact clustering assignments.
