Unsupervised representation learning with contrastive prototypes
The system and method are directed to a prototypical contrastive learning (PCL). The PCL explicitly encodes the hierarchical semantic structure of the dataset into the learned embedding space and prevents the network from exploiting low-level cues for solving the unsupervised learning task. The PCL includes prototypes as the latent variables to help find the maximum-likelihood estimation of the network parameters in an expectation-maximization framework. The PCL iteratively performs an E-step for finding prototypes with clustering and M-step for optimizing the network on a contrastive loss.
