We critically examine the most notable pretext tasks to extract features from image data. We study the performance of various self-supervised techniques keeping all other parameters uniform.

• Abstract: In self-supervised learning, a model is trained to solve a pretext task, using a data set whose annotations are created by a machine. The objective is to transfer the trained weights to perform a downstream task in the target domain. We critically examine the most notable pretext tasks to extract features from image data and further go on to conduct experiments on resource constrained networks, which aid faster experimentation and deployment. We study the performance of various self-supervised techniques keeping all other parameters uniform. We study the patterns that emerge by varying model type, size and amount of pre-training done for the backbone as well as establish a standard to compare against for future research. We also conduct comprehensive studies to understand the quality of representations learned by different architectures.

  Foundation models have reshaped the landscape of Remote Sensing (RS) by enhancing various image interpretation tasks. transferring the pretrained models to downstream tasks may encounter task discrepancy due to their formulation of pretraining as image classification or object discrimination tasks. We conduct multi-task supervised pretraining on the SAMRS dataset, encompassing semantic segmentation, instance segmentation, and rotated object detection. Our models are finetuned on various RS downstream tasks, such as scene classification, horizontal and rotated object detection, semantic segmentation, and change detection.

  We take a closer look into existing self-supervised methods of speech from an information-theoretic perspective. We use linear probes to estimate the mutual information between the target information and learned representations. We explore the potential of evaluating representations in a self-supervised fashion, where we estimate the mutual information between different parts of the data without using any labels.

  A simple form of transfer learning is common in current state-of-the-art computer vision models.
