Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework to understand representation geometry in supervised contrastive learning, particularly for datasets with long-tailed distributions. Their analysis revealed that existing methods fail to form a regular simplex geometry because they remain dependent on the number of samples per class. To address this, they introduced a "structural balancing" technique and a fully balanced contrastive objective that provably forms a regular simplex at its optimum, leading to improved performance in long-tailed recognition and transfer learning tasks.
