SimSiam
PyTorch implementation of SimSiam
SimSiam is a PyTorch implementation of “Exploring Simple Siamese Representation Learning” by Xinlei Chen and Kaiming He. The project introduces a minimalist approach to self-supervised learning that avoids negative pairs, momentum encoders, or large memory banks—key complexities of prior contrastive methods. SimSiam learns image representations by maximizing similarity between two augmented views of the same image through a Siamese neural network with a stop-gradient operation, preventing feature collapse. This elegant yet effective design achieves strong results in unsupervised learning benchmarks such as ImageNet without requiring contrastive losses. ...
