“…More recently, collaborative SSL has achieved increased attention in the computer vision domain. Representative collaborative SSL works include ColloSSL ( Jain et al, 2022 ), Rotation-oriented SSL ( Li et al, 2021 ), LESSL ( Zhao et al, 2022 ), Auto-GAN SSL ( Cao et al, 2020 ), and cross-view CL ( Bi et al, 2023 ). The fundamental objective of these works is to improve the effectiveness of self-supervised learned features by leveraging multiple pretext tasks, where one pretext task was designed to help other pretext tasks and contribute to enhancing the model performance in the downstream task.…”
