Discovering Global False Negatives On the Fly for Self-supervised Contrastive Learning

The paper introduces GloFND, an optimization-based method that learns a threshold for each anchor image during training to automatically detect false negative pairs in self-supervised contrastive learning. Unlike prior approaches that only consider false negatives within a mini-batch, GloFND globally identifies them across the entire dataset while keeping per-iteration computation independent of dataset size. Experiments on image and image-text data show the method’s effectiveness, and the implementation is publicly available.
