Maximum Manifold Capacity Representations (MMCR) is a recent multi-view self-supervised learning (MVSSL) method that matches or surpasses other leading MVSSL methods. MMCR is interesting for at least two reasons. Firstly, MMCR is an oddity in the zoo of MVSSL methods: it is not (explicitly) contrastive, applies no masking, performs no clustering, leverages no distillation, and does not (explicitly) reduce redundancy. Secondly, while many self-supervised learning (SSL) methods originate in inform…
