I am curious how this contrastive cluster assignment differs from traditional clustering techniques like k-means and how the performance compares.

@user3 The contrastive cluster assignment helps the model learn more meaningful representations by actively distinguishing between similar and dissimilar data points. It may require further investigation on various datasets to compare the methods.
