Paper Analysis—Bootstrap Your Own Latent: A New Approach to Self-Supervised Learning

In today’s paper analysis we will have a close look into the paper behind BYOL (Bootstrap Your Own Latent). It provides an alternative to contrastive self-supervised learning techniques for representation learning removing the need for a large corpus of negative samples and gigantic batch sizes. Furthermore it is a landmark paper on the path of understanding today’s …
