Dense Contrastive Learning is a self-supervised learning method for dense prediction tasks. It implements self-supervised learning by optimizing a pairwise contrastive (dis)similarity loss at the pixel level between two views of input images. Contrasting with regular contrastive loss, the contrastive loss is computed between the single feature vectors outputted by the global projection head, at the level of global feature, while the dense contrastive loss is computed between the dense feature vectors outputted by the dense projection head, at the level of local feature.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (9 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
