PyContrast is a PyTorch library providing reference implementations of contrastive learning methods such as InstDis, CMC, and MoCo, along with a curated paper list. It also ships ImageNet unsupervised pre-trained models and tools for transferring them to object detection on PASCAL VOC and COCO.

Use cases

• implement contrastive learning methods in pytorch
• train self-supervised models like MoCo and CMC
• download imagenet unsupervised pretrained models
• transfer self-supervised pretraining to object detection on VOC and COCO
• find recent contrastive learning papers
• reproduce state-of-the-art self-supervised learning results

When to choose

• you need reference PyTorch implementations of classic contrastive learning methods
• you want unsupervised ImageNet pre-trained backbones for downstream vision tasks
• you are researching or benchmarking self-supervised representation learning

When to avoid

• you need the latest self-supervised methods beyond contrastive learning (e.g., masked image modeling)
• you want a maintained general-purpose vision framework rather than research code
• you need a permissively licensed dependency, as the repo has no explicit license
