Self-supervised K-nearest neighbors/Evidence
Method evidence record

Self-supervised K-nearest neighbors

Self-supervised K-nearest neighbors (SSL-kNN) combines representation learning without labels with a non-parametric k-NN classifier. A neural encoder is first trained via a self-supervised objective — such as contrastive or masked prediction — so that semantically similar samples cluster together in the embedding space. A simple k-NN lookup on those embeddings then assigns class labels, serving both as a lightweight probe and as a practical classifier.
