Contrastive Learning for Foundation Models and Beyond

frontpage

This site is the official site for KDD 2024 tutorial on Heterogeneous Contrastive Learning for Foundation Models and Beyond.

Audience and Topic

The tutorial is designed for anyone with basic knowledge of machine learning and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide the audience with the basic concept of heterogeneous contrastive learning and how contrastive learning is applied to train and fine-tune the foundation models for view and task heterogeneity. After attending this tutorial, the audience will be familiar with the mechanism of contrastive learning in many domains, such as text mining, image recognition, etc.

Agenda

Opening Remark [slides]

  1. Overview of contrastive learning (20min)
  2. Contrastive Learning with View Heterogeneity (65min)
    • Contrastive Learning Basis
    • Contrastive Foundation Models (Vision Models, Language Models, Multi-modal Models, etc.)

Coffee Break (15min)

  1. Contrastive Learning with Task Heterogeneity (60min)
    • Pre-training tasks (Pretext Tasks, Supervised Tasks, Preference Tasks, etc. )
    • Downstream tasks (Typical Downstream Tasks, Auto ML, Prompting Learning, Multi-task Learning, etc)
  2. Open Challenges and Future Directions (10min)
  3. Q&A (10min)
