Extensive experiments on text and image datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art contrastive learning methods.

• Abstract: Contrastive learning is a well-established paradigm in representation learning. The standard framework of contrastive learning minimizes the distance between "similar" instances and maximizes the distance between dissimilar ones in the projection space, disregarding the various aspects of similarity that can exist between two samples. Current methods rely on a single projection head, which fails to capture the full complexity of different aspects of a sample, leading to suboptimal performance, especially in scenarios with limited training data. In this paper, we present a novel supervised contrastive learning method in a unified framework called multilevel contrastive learning (MLCL), that can be applied to both multi-label and hierarchical classification tasks. The key strength of the proposed method is the ability to capture similarities between samples across different labels and/or hierarchies using multiple projection heads. Extensive experiments on text and image datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art contrastive learning methods

  We propose a novel Multi-Grained Contrast method (MGC) for unsupervised representation learning. Specifically, we construct delicate multi-grained correspondences between positive views and then conduct multi-grained contrast by the correspondences to learn more general unsupervised representations. Our method significantly outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods on extensive downstream tasks, including object detection, instance segmentation, scene parsing, semantic segmentation and keypoint detection.

• Multi-Similarity Contrastive Learning [4.297070083645049]
  We propose a novel multi-similarity contrastive loss (MSCon) that learns generalizable embeddings by jointly utilizing supervision from multiple metrics of similarity. Our method automatically learns contrastive similarity weightings based on the uncertainty in the corresponding similarity. We show empirically that networks trained with MSCon outperform state-of-the-art baselines on in-domain and out-of-domain settings.

These approaches achieve superior performance by capturing high-level semantic information from large-scale multimodal pretraining. We propose unbiased Dense Contrastive Visual-Linguistic Pretraining to replace the region regression and classification with cross-modality region contrastive learning.

  We propose a simple, yet effective method named contrasting shifted instances (CSI) In addition to contrasting a given sample with other instances as in conventional contrastive learning methods, our training scheme contrasts the sample with distributionally-shifted augmentations of itself.
