Abstract: A data feature extraction method and apparatus in the field of artificial intelligence are provided. An addition convolution operation is performed to extract a target feature in quantized data based on quantized feature extraction parameters, that is, to calculate a sum of absolute values of differences between the quantized feature extraction parameters and the quantized data, to obtain the target feature based on the sum. In addition, feature extraction parameters and data are quantized by using a same quantization parameter. According to this application, a storage resource is saved, a computing resource is saved, thereby reducing a limitation on an application of artificial intelligence to a resource-limited device. Further, when the extracted feature data is dequantized, the feature data may be dequantized based on the quantization parameters.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing deep learning models capable of performing joint representation learning and new category discovery on a mixture of labeled and unlabeled data, which may include single- and multi-modal data. In some examples, a flexible end-to-end framework uses unified contrastive learning on labeled and unlabeled data based on both instance discrimination and category discrimination, and further uses Winner-Take-All hashing to generate a pseudo-label based on the similarity between each pair of unlabeled data points that can be used to train the model to generate clustering assignments for each unlabeled data point. In some examples, the unified contrastive learning may be further based on cross-modal discrimination.
