I recently started an AI-focused educational newsletter, that already has over 125,000 subscribers. TheSequence is a no-BS (meaning no hype, no news etc) ML-oriented newsletter that takes 5 minutes to read. The goal is to keep you up to date with machine learning projects, research papers and concepts. Please give it a try by subscribing below:

Self-Supervised Learning(SSL) is still in a very nascent state, and, as a result, the frameworks and platforms on the market are still quite limited. Lightly is an open-source library for implementing SSL models that have gained strong visibility within the deep learning community. Like other SSL frameworks in these early days, Lightly specializes in computer vision domains. The framework is entirely built on PyTorch and leverages advanced research such as Google’s SimCLR library.
