I have been recently wondering about the application of self-supervised learning in real-world. I think, your problem fits nicely into this category.
Oh. This looks interesting. I am interested in applications of AI in manufacturing practices. I think there is lot of data available with industry which may be difficult to label. Thus, approaches like one-shot or few-shot learning can be very promising in problems like quality control using computer vision.
By the way, thanks for suggesting SimCLR. I will go through this paper.:)
