AdaDim introduces a training strategy for self‑supervised learning that adaptively balances dimensionality increase and mutual information reduction. By gradually regularizing the projection head while encouraging feature decorrelation and sample uniformity, AdaDim achieves up to 3% performance gains over standard SSL baselines without relying on costly techniques such as queues or predictor networks. The method demonstrates that optimal SSL models do not simply maximize dimensionality or minimize mutual information, but find a trade‑off between the two.

CIG-MAE is a self‑supervised framework for WiFi‑based human action recognition that uses a cross‑modal masked autoencoder to reconstruct both amplitude and phase of Channel State Information. It introduces an adaptive, information‑guided masking strategy that focuses on high‑density time‑frequency regions and employs a Barlow Twins regularizer to align cross‑modal representations without negative samples. Experiments on three public datasets show that CIG‑MAE outperforms state‑of‑the‑art SSL methods and even surpasses a fully supervised baseline, highlighting its data efficiency, robustness, and generalization.
