Bootstrap your own latent: A new approach to self-supervised Learning

Abstract

Bootstrap Your Own Latent (BYOL) is a new approach to self-supervised image representation learning. BYOL relies on two neural networks, referred to as online and target networks, that interact and learn from each other. From an augmented view of an image, we train the online network to predict the target network representation of the same image under a different augmented view. At the same time, we update the target network with a slow-moving average of the online network.

Results and Models

This page is based on documents in MMSelfSup.

Classification

The classification benchmarks includes 4 downstream task datasets, VOC, ImageNet, iNaturalist2018 and Places205. If not specified, the results are Top-1 (%). We also provide configs on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and ImageNet-100 datasets according to the setting on ImageNet.

VOC SVM / Low-shot SVM

The Best Layer indicates that the best results are obtained from which layers feature map. For example, if the Best Layer is feature3, its best result is obtained from the second stage of ResNet (1 for stem layer, 2-5 for 4 stage layers).

Besides, k=1 to 96 indicates the hyper-parameter of Low-shot SVM.

Self-Supervised Config	Best Layer	SVM	k=1	k=2	k=4	k=8	k=16	k=32	k=64	k=96
r50_8xb64_accu8_cos_lr4_8_fp16_ep200	feature5	86.31	45.37	56.83	68.47	74.12	78.30	81.53	83.56	84.73

ImageNet Linear Evaluation

The Feature1 - Feature5 don't have the GlobalAveragePooling, the feature map is pooled to the specific dimensions and then follows a Linear layer to do the classification. Please refer to r50_mhead_sz224_4xb64_step_ep90.py for details of config.

The AvgPool result is obtained from Linear Evaluation with GlobalAveragePooling. Please refer to r50_linear_sz224_4xb64_step_ep100.py for details of config.

Places205 Linear Evaluation

The Feature1 - Feature5 don't have the GlobalAveragePooling, the feature map is pooled to the specific dimensions and then follows a Linear layer to do the classification. Please refer to r50_mhead_sz224_4xb64_step_ep28 for details of config.
