Unsupervised representation learning by discovering reliable image relations

作者:

Highlights:

• Identify reliable image relations to drive unsupervised representation learning.

• Divide-and-conquer strategy to retain only reliable relations between images.

• Learning an ensemble of local representations by matching to random target embeddings.

• Iterative extension of the set of reliable relations by inference.

• Consolidate the local representations into one global representation by transitivity.
