• Title: Effect of Rotation Angle in Self-Supervised Pre-training is Dataset-Dependent
• Authors: Amy Saranchuk, Michael Guerzhoy,
• Abstract summary: Self-supervised learning for pre-training can help the network learn better low-level features. In contrastive pre-training, the network is pre-trained to distinguish between different versions of the input. We show that, when training using contrastive pre-training in this way, the angle $theta$ and the dataset interact in interesting ways.

• Abstract: Self-supervised learning for pre-training (SSP) can help the network learn better low-level features, especially when the size of the training set is small. In contrastive pre-training, the network is pre-trained to distinguish between different versions of the input. For example, the network learns to distinguish pairs (original, rotated) of images where the rotated image was rotated by angle $\theta$ vs. other pairs of images. In this work, we show that, when training using contrastive pre-training in this way, the angle $\theta$ and the dataset interact in interesting ways. We hypothesize, and give some evidence, that, for some datasets, the network can take "shortcuts" for particular rotation angles $\theta$ based on the distribution of the gradient directions in the input, possibly avoiding learning features other than edges, but our experiments do not seem to support that hypothesis. We demonstrate experiments on three radiology datasets. We compute the saliency map indicating which pixels were important in the SSP process, and compare the saliency map to the ground truth foreground/background segmentation. Our visualizations indicate that the effects of rotation angles in SSP are dataset-dependent. We believe the distribution of gradient orientations may play a role in this, but our experiments so far are inconclusive.

  In recent years, a body of works has emerged, studying shape and texture biases of off-the-shelf pre-trained deep neural networks (DNN) for image classification. We study these questions on semantic segmentation which allows us to address our questions on pixel level. Our study on three datasets reveals that neither texture nor shape clearly dominate the learning success, however a combination of shape and color but without texture achieves surprisingly strong results.

  We present Contrastive Spatial Pre-Training (CSP), a self-supervised learning framework for geo-tagged images. We use a dual-encoder to separately encode the images and their corresponding geo-locations, and use contrastive objectives to learn effective location representations from images. CSP significantly boosts the model performance with 10-34% relative improvement with various labeled training data sampling ratios.

  We propose a new self-supervised method for pre-training the backbone of deep perception models operating on point clouds. The core idea is to train the model on a pretext task which is the reconstruction of the surface on which the 3D points are sampled. The intuition is that if the network is able to reconstruct the scene surface, given only sparse input points, then it probably also captures some fragments of semantic information.

We show how this alignment produces a positive transfer: networks pre-trained with random labels train faster downstream compared to training from scratch.
