Contrastive-Collapsed Loss for Flexible and Geometrically Optimal Embeddings and Faster Convergence

In this work, we introduce CoCo, a loss function aimed at learning normalized and well-structured representations. The proposed loss encourages intra-class collapse and inter-class contrast while preserving sufficient flexibility for neural networks to approximate geometrically optimal embeddings with large angular separation between classes.

Predict and Reconstruct: Joint Objectives for Self-Supervised Language Representation Learning

arXiv:2606. 05173v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Masked language modelling (MLM) has been the dominant pre-training objective for text encoders since BERT, yet it encourages representations that are strongly anchored to surface-form token identity rather than deeper semantic structure.
