Streaming Self-Supervised Learning on Continuous Video Data
September 29, 2026
Research on continuous video streams using the 95-hour WT++ dataset shows that MAE is more robust than contrastive or distillation methods in sliding-window settings. However, standard i.i.d. pretraining still outperforms these streaming approaches.
