Self-Soupervision: Cooking Model Soups without Labels

Announce Type: replace Abstract: Model soups are strange and strangely effective combinations of parameters. They take a model (the stock), fine-tune it into multiple models (the ingredients), and then mix their parameters back into one model (the soup) to improve predictions. While all known soups require supervised learning, and optimize the same loss on labeled data, our recipes for Self-Soupervision generalize soups to self-supervised learning (SSL).
