    Study Notes

    Unsupervised Neural Networks

    • Today's best models of visual cortex are trained on ImageNet, a dataset that contains millions of category-labeled images, but this is highly implausible for human infants and nonhuman primates who don't receive such supervision.
    • Unsupervised learning algorithms aim to learn representations from natural statistics without high-level labeling, allowing for more data-efficient learning.

    Human Data vs. Standard Image Databases

    • Human data is continuous and egocentric, whereas standard image databases are not.
    • Human input is multimodal, whereas model input is often unimodal.
    • Humans may rely on different inductive biases, allowing for more data-efficient learning.
    • Humans may enlarge their initial dataset by using already encountered instances to create new instances during offline states (e.g., imagination, dreaming).

    Unsupervised Learning Algorithms

    • Local Aggregation (LA) method: embeds input images into a lower dimension space and optimizes to push the current embedding vector closer to its close neighbors and further from its background neighbors.
    • Multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) algorithm: used to visualize the embedding space, showing classes with high and low validation accuracy.

    Contrasting Embedding Methods

    • Contrastive embedding methods yield high-performing neural networks, with some unsupervised methods equalling or even outperforming category-supervised models in certain tasks.
    • Unsupervised neural networks were compared to neural data from macaque V1, V4, and IT cortex, with some methods achieving better predictions of neural responses.

    Deep Contrastive Learning on Real-World Data

    • The ImageNet dataset diverges significantly from real biological data streams, with ImageNet containing single images of distinct objects, presented cleanly from stereotypical angles, whereas human infants receive images from a smaller set of object instances, under noisy continuous conditions.
    • Deep Contrastive Learning on first-person video data from children using the SAYCam dataset, which contains head-mounted video camera data from three children.
    • Video instance embedding (VIE) algorithm, an extension of LA to video, achieves state-of-the-art results on dynamic visual tasks, including action recognition.
    • Representations learned by VIE are highly robust, approaching the neural predictivity of those trained on ImageNet.

    Partial Supervision

    • Semisupervised learning seeks to leverage small numbers of labeled datapoints in the context of large amounts of unlabeled data, using local label propagation (LLP) to embed datapoints into a compact embedding space.
    • LLP takes into account the embedding properties of sparse labeled data, inferring pseudolabels of unlabeled images from those of nearby labeled images.
    • The network is jointly optimized to predict these inferred pseudolabels while maintaining contrastive differentiation between embeddings with different pseudolabels.

    Human Behavior Consistency

    • Pearson correlations between human and different models' behavior performing the same object recognition task on 2400 images of 24 different objects.
    • Using just 36,000 labels (corresponding to 3% supervision), semisupervised models lead to representations that are substantially more behaviorally consistent than purely unsupervised methods, although a gap to the supervised models remains.
