Recently, some contrastive learning methods have been proposed to simultaneously learn representations and clustering assignments, achieving significant improvements. However, these methods do not take the category information and clustering objective into consideration, thus the learned representations are not optimal for clustering and the performance might be limited. Towards this issue, we first propose a novel graph contrastive learning framework, which is then applied to the clustering task and we come up with the Graph Constrastive Clustering~(GCC) method. Different from basic contrastive clustering that only assumes an image and its augmentation should share similar representation and clustering assignments, we lift the instance-level consistency to the cluster-level consistency with the assumption that samples in one cluster and their augmentations should all be similar. Specifically, on the one hand, the graph Laplacian based contrastive loss is proposed to learn more discriminative and clustering-friendly features. On the other hand, a novel graph-based contrastive learning strategy is proposed to learn more compact clustering assignments. Both of them incorporate the latent category information to reduce the intra-cluster variance while increasing the inter-cluster variance. Experiments on six commonly used datasets demonstrate the superiority of our proposed approach over the state-of-the-art methods.

Deep clustering successfully provides more effective features than conventional ones and thus becomes an important technique in current unsupervised learning. However, most deep clustering methods ignore the vital positive and negative pairs introduc
ed by data augmentation and further the significance of contrastive learning, which leads to suboptimal performance. In this paper, we present a novel Doubly Contrastive Deep Clustering (DCDC) framework, which constructs contrastive loss over both sample and class views to obtain more discriminative features and competitive results. Specifically, for the sample view, we set the class distribution of the original sample and its augmented version as positive sample pairs and set one of the other augmented samples as negative sample pairs. After that, we can adopt the sample-wise contrastive loss to pull positive sample pairs together and push negative sample pairs apart. Similarly, for the class view, we build the positive and negative pairs from the sample distribution of the class. In this way, two contrastive losses successfully constrain the clustering results of mini-batch samples in both sample and class level. Extensive experimental results on six benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of our proposed model against state-of-the-art methods. Particularly in the challenging dataset Tiny-ImageNet, our method leads 5.6% against the latest comparison method. Our code will be available at url{https://github.com/ZhiyuanDang/DCDC}.
Whilst contrastive learning has achieved remarkable success in self-supervised representation learning, its potential for deep clustering remains unknown. This is due to its fundamental limitation that the instance discrimination strategy it takes is
not class sensitive and hence unable to reason about the underlying decision boundaries between semantic concepts or classes. In this work, we solve this problem by introducing a novel variant called Semantic Contrastive Learning (SCL). It explores the characteristics of both conventional contrastive learning and deep clustering by imposing distance-based cluster structures on unlabelled training data and also introducing a discriminative contrastive loss formulation. For explicitly modelling class boundaries on-the-fly, we further formulate a clustering consistency condition on the two different predictions given by visual similarities and semantic decision boundaries. By advancing implicit representation learning towards explicit understandings of visual semantics, SCL can amplify jointly the strengths of contrastive learning and deep clustering in a unified approach. Extensive experiments show that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art deep clustering methods on six challenging object recognition benchmarks, especially on finer-grained and larger datasets.
Recently, many unsupervised deep learning methods have been proposed to learn clustering with unlabelled data. By introducing data augmentation, most of the latest methods look into deep clustering from the perspective that the original image and its
transformation should share similar semantic clustering assignment. However, the representation features could be quite different even they are assigned to the same cluster since softmax function is only sensitive to the maximum value. This may result in high intra-class diversities in the representation feature space, which will lead to unstable local optimal and thus harm the clustering performance. To address this drawback, we proposed Deep Robust Clustering (DRC). Different from existing methods, DRC looks into deep clustering from two perspectives of both semantic clustering assignment and representation feature, which can increase inter-class diversities and decrease intra-class diversities simultaneously. Furthermore, we summarized a general framework that can turn any maximizing mutual information into minimizing contrastive loss by investigating the internal relationship between mutual information and contrastive learning. And we successfully applied it in DRC to learn invariant features and robust clusters. Extensive experiments on six widely-adopted deep clustering benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of DRC in both stability and accuracy. e.g., attaining 71.6% mean accuracy on CIFAR-10, which is 7.1% higher than state-of-the-art results.
A good clustering algorithm can discover natural groupings in data. These groupings, if used wisely, provide a form of weak supervision for learning representations. In this work, we present Clustering-based Contrastive Learning (CCL), a new clusteri
ng-based representation learning approach that uses labels obtained from clustering along with video constraints to learn discriminative face features. We demonstrate our method on the challenging task of learning representations for video face clustering. Through several ablation studies, we analyze the impact of creating pair-wise positive and negative labels from different sources. Experiments on three challenging video face clustering datasets: BBT-0101, BF-0502, and ACCIO show that CCL achieves a new state-of-the-art on all datasets.
Most scene graph parsers use a two-stage pipeline to detect visual relationships: the first stage detects entities, and the second predicts the predicate for each entity pair using a softmax distribution. We find that such pipelines, trained with onl
y a cross entropy loss over predicate classes, suffer from two common errors. The first, Entity Instance Confusion, occurs when the model confuses multiple instances of the same type of entity (e.g. multiple cups). The second, Proximal Relationship Ambiguity, arises when multiple subject-predicate-object triplets appear in close proximity with the same predicate, and the model struggles to infer the correct subject-object pairings (e.g. mis-pairing musicians and their instruments). We propose a set of contrastive loss formulations that specifically target these types of errors within the scene graph parsing problem, collectively termed the Graphical Contrastive Losses. These losses explicitly force the model to disambiguate related and unrelated instances through margin constraints specific to each type of confusion. We further construct a relationship detector, called RelDN, using the aforementioned pipeline to demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed losses. Our model outperforms the winning method of the OpenImages Relationship Detection Challenge by 4.7% (16.5% relative) on the test set. We also show improved results over the best previous methods on the Visual Genome and Visual Relationship Detection datasets.
