Self-supervised learning

Self-supervised learning

- Earlier you saw that you could use machine learning to do a form of supervised or unsupervised learning. Remember that you were using machine learning to try and classify your stamps or cluster them based on similar traits. Then you saw with generative adversarial networks, or GANs, you could mix and match these two techniques. Remember that you could use a little bit of supervised learning to train the discriminator on how to make an educated guess. Now, newer generative AI systems take this a step further. The main challenge is that there's a lot more unlabeled data in the world, so even though there might be millions of of images of cats online, only a small percentage of them are labeled with the word cat. And remember that supervised machine learning systems need to be trained with labeled data. Imagine if you could use unsupervised learning to label all that unlabeled data. This is what you call self-supervised learning. So think about if you wanted to use unsupervised…
