Pursuing realistic results according to human visual perception is the central concern in the image transformation tasks. Perceptual learning approaches like perceptual loss are empirically powerful for such tasks but they usually rely on the pre-trained classification network to provide features, which are not necessarily optimal in terms of visual perception of image transformation. In this paper, we argue that, among the features representation from the pre-trained classification network, only limited dimensions are related to human visual perception, while others are irrelevant, although both will affect the final image transformation results. Under such an assumption, we try to disentangle the perception-relevant dimensions from the representation through our proposed online contrastive learning. The resulted network includes the pre-training part and a feature selection layer, followed by the contrastive learning module, which utilizes the transformed results, target images, and task-oriented distorted images as the positive, negative, and anchor samples, respectively. The contrastive learning aims at activating the perception-relevant dimensions and suppressing the irrelevant ones by using the triplet loss, so that the original representation can be disentangled for better perceptual quality. Experiments on various image transformation tasks demonstrate the superiority of our framework, in terms of human visual perception, to the existing approaches using pre-trained networks and empirically designed losses.

We propose a self-supervised approach for learning representations of objects from monocular videos and demonstrate it is particularly useful in situated settings such as robotics. The main contributions of this paper are: 1) a self-supervising objec tive trained with contrastive learning that can discover and disentangle object attributes from video without using any labels; 2) we leverage object self-supervision for online adaptation: the longer our online model looks at objects in a video, the lower the object identification error, while the offline baseline remains with a large fixed error; 3) to explore the possibilities of a system entirely free of human supervision, we let a robot collect its own data, train on this data with our self-supervise scheme, and then show the robot can point to objects similar to the one presented in front of it, demonstrating generalization of object attributes. An interesting and perhaps surprising finding of this approach is that given a limited set of objects, object correspondences will naturally emerge when using contrastive learning without requiring explicit positive pairs.

Previous Online Knowledge Distillation (OKD) often carries out mutually exchanging probability distributions, but neglects the useful representational knowledge. We therefore propose Multi-view Contrastive Learning (MCL) for OKD to implicitly capture correlations of feature embeddings encoded by multiple peer networks, which provide various views for understanding the input data instances. Benefiting from MCL, we can learn a more discriminative representation space for classification than previous OKD methods. Experimental results on image classification demonstrate that our MCL-OKD outperforms other state-of-the-art OKD methods by large margins without sacrificing additional inference cost. Codes are available at https://github.com/winycg/MCL-OKD.
Many speech processing methods based on deep learning require an automatic and differentiable audio metric for the loss function. The DPAM approach of Manocha et al. learns a full-reference metric trained directly on human judgments, and thus correla tes well with human perception. However, it requires a large number of human annotations and does not generalize well outside the range of perturbations on which it was trained. This paper introduces CDPAM, a metric that builds on and advances DPAM. The primary improvement is to combine contrastive learning and multi-dimensional representations to build robust models from limited data. In addition, we collect human judgments on triplet comparisons to improve generalization to a broader range of audio perturbations. CDPAM correlates well with human responses across nine varied datasets. We also show that adding this metric to existing speech synthesis and enhancement methods yields significant improvement, as measured by objective and subjective tests.
Within the field of image and video recognition, the traditional approach is a dataset split into fixed training and test partitions. However, the labelling of the training set is time-consuming, especially as datasets grow in size and complexity. Fu rthermore, this approach is not applicable to the home user, who wants to intuitively group their media without tirelessly labelling the content. Our interactive approach is able to iteratively cluster classes of images and video. Our approach is based around the concept of an image signature which, unlike a standard bag of words model, can express co-occurrence statistics as well as symbol frequency. We efficiently compute metric distances between signatures despite their inherent high dimensionality and provide discriminative feature selection, to allow common and distinctive elements to be identified from a small set of user labelled examples. These elements are then accentuated in the image signature to increase similarity between examples and pull correct classes together. By repeating this process in an online learning framework, the accuracy of similarity increases dramatically despite labelling only a few training examples. To demonstrate that the approach is agnostic to media type and features used, we evaluate on three image datasets (15 scene, Caltech101 and FG-NET), a mixed text and image dataset (ImageTag), a dataset used in active learning (Iris) and on three action recognition datasets (UCF11, KTH and Hollywood2). On the UCF11 video dataset, the accuracy is 86.7% despite using only 90 labelled examples from a dataset of over 1200 videos, instead of the standard 1122 training videos. The approach is both scalable and efficient, with a single iteration over the full UCF11 dataset of around 1200 videos taking approximately 1 minute on a standard desktop machine.
In this paper, we propose Parametric Contrastive Learning (PaCo) to tackle long-tailed recognition. Based on theoretical analysis, we observe supervised contrastive loss tends to bias on high-frequency classes and thus increases the difficulty of imb alanced learning. We introduce a set of parametric class-wise learnable centers to rebalance from an optimization perspective. Further, we analyze our PaCo loss under a balanced setting. Our analysis demonstrates that PaCo can adaptively enhance the intensity of pushing samples of the same class close as more samples are pulled together with their corresponding centers and benefit hard example learning. Experiments on long-tailed CIFAR, ImageNet, Places, and iNaturalist 2018 manifest the new state-of-the-art for long-tailed recognition. On full ImageNet, models trained with PaCo loss surpass supervised contrastive learning across various ResNet backbones, e.g., our ResNet-200 achieves 81.8% top-1 accuracy.
