One Leaf Reveals the Season: Occlusion-Based Contrastive Learning with Semantic-Aware Views for Efficient Visual Representation
ICML 2025poster
This paper proposes a scalable and straightforward pre-training paradigm for efficient visual conceptual representation called occluded image contrastive learning (OCL). Our OCL approach is simple: we randomly mask patches to generate different views within an image and contrast them among a mini-ba…
