Lightly

Lightly Self-Supervised Learning SDK (OSS)

The open-source (Apache-2.0) lightly Python library for self-supervised representation learning on images (SimCLR, MoCo, DINO, BYOL, and more). It is a pip-installable PyTorch SDK and is distinct from the hosted LightlyOne platform REST API; the same package also ships the ApiWorkflowClient used to call the platform.
