Review for NeurIPS paper: Self-Supervised Visual Representation Learning from Hierarchical Grouping

Neural Information Processing Systems 

Summary and Contributions: Post rebuttal update begins I thank the authors for addressing some of my concerns. I, however, disagree with several of the arguments put forward in the rebuttal. I have nevertheless updated my overall score as the authors provided/promised some of the requested experiments. I detail my concerns below: "aim of Self-supervised learning is to create universal visual representations": A substantial part of the community, however, is still interested in transferable representations. This pursuit is valuable in its own way as it tries to generalize to very novel settings with very limited data.
