Self-Supervised Learning
SSL
Machine Learning· Advanced
Definition
A learning paradigm where models generate their own supervision signal from unlabeled data by predicting one part of the input from another. The dominant pre-training approach for modern large language models — GPT, BERT, and successors all use self-supervised objectives on raw text.
Enterprise Context
Enables training on massive unlabeled corpora — eliminating the need for expensive human annotation at scale. Foundational to how modern enterprise AI models are built.
