• Title: Self-supervised Document Clustering Based on BERT with Data Augment
• Authors: Haoxiang Shi and Cen Wang
• Abstract summary: We propose self-supervised contrastive learning (SCL) as well as few-shot contrastive learning (FCL) with unsupervised data augmentation (UDA) for text clustering. SCL outperforms state-of-the-art unsupervised clustering approaches for short texts and those for long texts in terms of several clustering evaluation measures. FCL achieves performance close to supervised learning, and FCL with UDA further improves the performance for short texts.

• Abstract: Contrastive learning is a promising approach to unsupervised learning, as it inherits the advantages of well-studied deep models without a dedicated and complex model design. In this paper, based on bidirectional encoder representations from transformers, we propose self-supervised contrastive learning (SCL) as well as few-shot contrastive learning (FCL) with unsupervised data augmentation (UDA) for text clustering. SCL outperforms state-of-the-art unsupervised clustering approaches for short texts and those for long texts in terms of several clustering evaluation measures. FCL achieves performance close to supervised learning, and FCL with UDA further improves the performance for short texts.

  We show how to leverage class text information to mitigate distribution drifts encountered by vision-language models (VLMs) during test-time inference. We propose to generate pseudo-labels for the test-time samples by exploiting generic class text embeddings as fixed centroids of a label assignment problem. Experiments on multiple popular test-time adaptation benchmarks presenting diverse complexity empirically show the superiority of CLIP-OT.

  asymmetric non-contrastive learning (ANCL) often outperforms its contrastive learning counterpart in self-supervised representation learning. We study ANCL for supervised representation learning, coined SupSiam and SupBYOL, leveraging labels in ANCL to achieve better representations. Our analysis reveals that providing supervision to ANCL reduces intra-class variance, and the contribution of supervision should be adjusted to achieve the best performance.
