Project

Contrastive self-supervised learning

Positions: Student Researcher

Created: 2023-10-22 Deadline:

Location: Poland

The self-supervised learning model allows for constructing a data representation in an unsupervised manner, which can later be successfully used for classification or clustering. However, much depends on the augmentations used. If an augmentation changes the class, it becomes difficult to utilize such a representation in classification later. In this project, we aim to build a model that constructs a representation that is less sensitive to the type of augmentations used.

General must-have requirements

The student needs to know how to program in both tensorflow and pytorch (In order to undestand the present code and implement new methods).

Project's lab:

GMUM (Group of Machine Learning Research) is a group of researchers working on various aspects of machine learning, and in particular deep learning - in both fundamental and applied settings. The group is led by prof. Jacek Tabor. We are based in the Jagiellonian University in the beautiful city of Kraków, Poland.

Some of the research directions our group pursues include:

  • Generative models: efficient training and sampling; inpainting; super-resolution,
  • Theoretical understanding of deep learning and optimization,
  • Natural language processing,
  • Drug design and cheminformatics,
  • Unsupervised learning and clustering,
  • Computer vision and medical image analysis.

In 2023, we organized the second edition of Machine Learning Summer School (MLSS^S) with a focus on Applications in Science. We invite participants to collaborate with us on various ongoing research projects - learn more here.
