2nd Place Solution to Facebook AI Image Similarity Challenge Matching Track

This paper presents the 2nd place solution to the Facebook AI Image Similarity Challenge : Matching Track on DrivenData. The solution is based on self-supervised learning, and Vision Transformer(ViT). The main breaktrough comes from concatenating query and reference image to form as one image and asking ViT to directly predict from the image if query image used reference image. The solution scored 0.8291 Micro-average Precision on the private leaderboard.
