Description
Hello, many thanks for your efforts in introducing LightlyTrain.
I am new to Self-Supervised Learning, and would appreciate your response to a conceptual question I have. As far as I understand, SSL requires a pretext task to be defined and solved, and that pretext tasks are the cornerstone of SSL. In LightlyTrain, how can these tasks be defined or configured during pre-training? Is this the custom augmentation transforms configuration? Is it only available in LightlySSL? I checked the LightlyTrain documentation and haven't found anything on pretext tasks.
Thank you.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the LightlyTrain documentation and the LightlySSL configuration mentioned in the question. Determine whether pretext tasks are configurable and where that should be documented; done would be a clear explanation of the configuration path and its relationship to custom augmentation transforms.
