Repurposing and Evaluating the (In)Feasibility of Dataset Poisoning enabled Watermarking for Contrastive Learning

arXiv:2605.01834v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contrastive learning (CL) reduces annotation cost via auto-derived supervisory signals. Since large-scale in-house CL datasets are infeasible, reliance on third-party or internet data is common. Recent studies show CL models are vulnerable to...
