New divergence-based similarity function enhances multi-view contrastive learning

Researchers have developed a new divergence-based similarity function (DSF) for multi-view contrastive learning, aiming to better capture the joint structure across multiple augmented data views. Unlike previous methods that focus on pairwise relationships, DSF represents views as distributions and measures similarity through their divergence. Experiments show DSF improves performance in various tasks, including kNN classification and transfer learning, while being more efficient and not requiring a temperature hyperparameter like cosine similarity.
