  Why:

  CURRENT

  Current NLP models heavily rely on effective representation learning algorithms. Contrastive learning is one such technique to learn an embedding space such that similar data sample pairs have close representations while dissimilar samples stay far apart from each other. It can be used in supervised or unsupervised settings using different loss functions to produce task-specific or general-purpose representations. While it has originally enabled the success for vision tasks, recent years have seen a growing number of publications in contrastive NLP. This first line of works not only delivers promising performance improvements in various NLP tasks, but also provides desired characteristics such as task-agnostic sentence representation, faithful text generation, data-efficient learning in zero-shot and few-shot settings, interpretability and explainability.

  This repository provides a curated and comprehensive list of research papers on Contrastive Learning for Natural Language Processing (NLP). Contrastive learning is a powerful technique for learning effective representations, enabling similar data sample pairs to have close representations while dissimilar samples stay far apart. While originally successful in vision tasks, recent years have seen a surge in its application to NLP, delivering promising performance improvements in various tasks and offering desired characteristics such as task-agnostic sentence representation, data-efficient learning, and improved interpretability.
