Don't their names already tell that? Self-supervised learning... supervised learning...

Who said this?

The ways of determining labels of both paradigms are different (as u/cthorrez said). Moreover, the objectives are different (as u/currentscurrents said).

Why does it not stand for Sexual Learning? I see a business opportunity…

So you want to argue that the name of the post is trivally true so not worth mentioning, and problematic(as your last paragraph suggest)? Not so constructive.

It's not much I am aware. However, what I mean that names of both training paradigm already told you a part of the answer. The last paragraph of mine is to refer two other comments to create a more sufficient answer.

Moreover, the names of both already pointed it's somewhat related. Therefore, this line

>So I think classifying them as disjoint is somewhat misleading.

is obvious. I don't know who have said "classifying them as disjoint" to you. Clearly they didn't pay attention to the names.

You can not just confidently infer meaning from the name. Is "Light Year" a unit of time?

By your logic, "unsupervised learning" is not supervised learning, while SSL is sometimes classified as part of unsupervised learning, so now SSL isn't SL as well!

So "I think classifying them as disjoint is somewhat misleading."

is obvious.

My fault, deleted. Satisfied now?
