Unsupervised visualization of image datasets using contrastive learning

This is the code for the paper “Unsupervised visualization of image datasets using contrastive learning” (ICLR 2023).

If you use the code, please cite our paper:

@inproceedings{boehm2023unsupervised,
  title={Unsupervised visualization of image datasets using contrastive learning},
  author={B{\"o}hm, Jan Niklas and Berens, Philipp and Kobak, Dmitry},
  booktitle={International Conference on Learning Representations},
  year={2023},
}

We show that it is possible to visualize datasets such as CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 in 2D with a contrastive learning objective, while preserving a lot of structure! We call our method t-SimCNE.

Installation

Installation should be as easy as calling:

pip install tsimcne

The package is now available on PyPI. If you want to install it from source, you can do as follows.

git clone https://github.com/berenslab/t-simcne
cd t-simcne
pip install .

Since the project uses a pyproject.toml file, you need to make sure that pip version is at least v22.3.1.

Usage example

The documentation is available at readthedocs. Below is a simple usage example.

import torch
import torchvision
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from tsimcne.tsimcne import TSimCNE

# get the cifar dataset (make sure to adapt `data_root` to point to your folder)
data_root = "experiments/cifar/out/cifar10"
dataset_train = torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(
    root=data_root,
    download=True,
    train=True,
)
dataset_test = torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(
    root=data_root,
    download=True,
    train=False,
)
dataset_full = torch.utils.data.ConcatDataset([dataset_train, dataset_test])

# create the object (here we run t-SimCNE with fewer epochs
# than in the paper; there we used [1000, 50, 450]).
tsimcne = TSimCNE(total_epochs=[500, 50, 250])

# train on the augmented/contrastive dataloader (this takes the most time)
tsimcne.fit(dataset_full)

# map the original images to 2D
Y = tsimcne.transform(dataset_full)

# get the original labels from the dataset
labels = [lbl for img, lbl in dataset_full]

# plot the data
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.scatter(*Y.T, c=labels)
fig.savefig("tsimcne.png")
