Research in self-supervised learning can be broadly categorized into Generative and Discriminative paradigms. We reviewed major SSL research since 2008 and found that SSL has followed distinct developmental trajectories and stages across time periods and modalities. Since 2018, SSL in NLP has been dominated by generative masked language modeling, which remains mainstream. In computer vision, discriminative contrastive learning dominated from 2018 to 2021 before masked image modeling gained prominence after 2022.

## Fundamental MIM Methods




The overview of the basic MIM framework, containing four building blocks with their internal components and functionalities. All MIM research can be summarized as innovations upon these four blocks, i.e., Masking, Encoder, Target, and Head. Frameworks of masked modeling in other modalities are similar to this framework.
