Title:
The Self-Supervised Learning Paradigm in Computer Vision

Abstract:
In the evolving landscape of machine learning, self-supervised learning has recently surfaced as a compelling paradigm, challenging the conventional dependence on vast labeled datasets. This presentation aims to provide an introduction into the realm of self-supervised learning within the field of computer vision. To that end, we will trace the evolution of self-supervised learning from the early pioneering approaches that paved the way for its adoption to more recent state-of-the-art techniques. Our focus will be on uncovering the fundamental principles and core ideas that underpin these diverse self-supervised learning methods for visual data.
