Overall, this paper received mixed reviews. The main argument against this paper (raised by both reviewer R1 and R3) is its novelty, as it currently seems to be primarily a variant of the infoNCE objective using data-augmentation that capture rotational invariances. After having read the reviews, author response and followed the reviewer discussion I would like to recommend acceptance. The main reason for this is that, as R 1 and R3 mention, this is a well-executed paper (perhaps better seen as an application paper), with good experiments and evaluation and also a method that tested and worked in 2 datasets, one of which in the biomedical domain.
