This article discusses a method for automatically curating high-quality datasets for self-supervised pre-training of machine learning systems. The method involves successive and hierarchical applications of k-means on a large and diverse data repository to obtain clusters that distribute uniformly among data concepts, followed by a hierarchical, balanced sampling step from these clusters. The experiments on three different data domains show that features trained on the automatically curated datasets outperform those trained on uncurated data while being on par or better than ones trained on manually curated data.
