# Self-Supervised Learning with Vision Transformers

By [Zhenda Xie](https://github.com/zdaxie/)\*, [Yutong Lin](https://github.com/impiga)\*, [Zhuliang Yao](https://github.com/Howal), [Zheng Zhang](https://stupidzz.github.io/), [Qi Dai](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/qid/), [Yue Cao](http://yue-cao.me) and [Han Hu](https://ancientmooner.github.io/)

This repo is the official implementation of ["Self-Supervised Learning with Swin Transformers"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.04553).

**A important feature of this codebase is to include `Swin Transformer` as one of the backbones, such that we can evaluate the transferring performance of the learnt representations on down-stream tasks of object detection and semantic segmentation.** This evaluation is usually not included in previous works due to the use of ViT/DeiT, which has not been well tamed for down-stream tasks.

It currently includes code and models for the following tasks:

> **Self-Supervised Learning and Linear Evaluation**: Included in this repo. See [get_started.md](get_started.md) for a quick start.

> **Transferring Performance on Object Detection/Instance Segmentation**: See [Swin Transformer for Object Detection](https://github.com/SwinTransformer/Swin-Transformer-Object-Detection).

> **Transferring Performance on Semantic Segmentation**: See [Swin Transformer for Semantic Segmentation](https://github.com/SwinTransformer/Swin-Transformer-Semantic-Segmentation).

## Highlights

- **Include down-stream evaluation**: the `first work` to evaluate the transferring performance on down-stream tasks for SSL using Transformers
- **Small tricks**: significantly less tricks than previous works, such as MoCo v3 and DINO
- **High accuracy on ImageNet-1K linear evaluation**: 72.8 vs 72.5 (MoCo v3) vs 72.5 (DINO) using DeiT-S/16 and 300 epoch pre-training

## Introduction

### MoBY: a self-supervised learning approach by combining MoCo v2 and BYOL

**MoBY** (the name `MoBY` stands for **Mo**Co v2 with **BY**OL) is initially described in [arxiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.04553), which is a combination of two popular self-supervised learning approaches: MoCo v2 and BYOL. It inherits the momentum design, the key queue, and the contrastive loss used in MoCo v2, and inherits the asymmetric encoders, asymmetric data augmentations and the momentum scheduler in BYOL.

**MoBY** achieves reasonably high accuracy on ImageNet-1K linear evaluation: 72.8\% and 75.3\% top-1 accuracy using DeiT and Swin-T, respectively, by 300-epoch training. The performance is on par with recent works of MoCo v3 and DINO which adopt DeiT as the backbone, but with much lighter tricks.

### Swin Transformer as a backbone

**Swin Transformer** (the name `Swin` stands for **S**hifted **win**dow) is initially described in [arxiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.14030), which capably serves as a general-purpose backbone for computer vision. It achieves strong performance on COCO object detection (`58.7 box AP` and `51.1 mask AP` on test-dev) and ADE20K semantic segmentation (`53.5 mIoU` on val), surpassing previous models by a large margin.

We involve Swin Transformer as one of backbones to evaluate the transferring performance on down-stream tasks such as object detection. This differentiate this codebase with other approaches studying SSL on Transformer architectures.
