Contrastive learning trains a model to pull matching pairs (two views of one slide, or one patient's RNA and protein) close together in embedding space and push non-matching pairs apart.
Contrastive methods are a branch of self-supervised learning in which the model learns by comparing positive pairs against negatives drawn from the batch (Wikipedia on self-supervised learning); the InfoNCE loss is the usual objective. It powers vision-language pathology models that align tile images with report text (CONCH) and multimodal patient models that align a patient's modalities. Its weakness is that it needs many negatives and can learn the batch rather than the biology.
