Introduction

This paper evaluated the performance of state-of-the-art unsupervised (self-supervised) methods on learning weights of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to figure out whether current self-supervision techniques can learn deep features from only one image. The main goal of self-supervised learning is to take advantage of vast amount of unlabeled data for training CNNs and finding a generalized image representation. In self-supervised learning, data generate ground truth labels per se by pretext tasks such as rotation estimation.

Previous Work

In recent literature, several papers addressed unsupervised learning methods and learning from a single sample.

A BiGAN, or Bidirectional GAN, is basically a generative adversarial network plus an encoder. The generator maps latent samples to generated data and the encoder performs as the opposite of the generator. After training BiGAN, the encoder has learned to generate a rich image representation.
