• Abstract summary: Multi-task Learning (MTL) for classification with disjoint datasets aims to explore MTL when one task only has one labeled dataset. Inspired by semi-supervised learning, we use unlabeled datasets with pseudo labels to facilitate each task. We propose our MTL with Selective Augmentation (MTL-SA) method to select the training samples in unlabeled datasets with confident pseudo labels and close data distribution to the labeled dataset.

• Abstract: Multi-task Learning (MTL) for classification with disjoint datasets aims to explore MTL when one task only has one labeled dataset. In existing methods, for each task, the unlabeled datasets are not fully exploited to facilitate this task. Inspired by semi-supervised learning, we use unlabeled datasets with pseudo labels to facilitate each task. However, there are two major issues: 1) the pseudo labels are very noisy; 2) the unlabeled datasets and the labeled dataset for each task has considerable data distribution mismatch. To address these issues, we propose our MTL with Selective Augmentation (MTL-SA) method to select the training samples in unlabeled datasets with confident pseudo labels and close data distribution to the labeled dataset. Then, we use the selected training samples to add information and use the remaining training samples to preserve information. Extensive experiments on face-centric and human-centric applications demonstrate the effectiveness of our MTL-SA method.

  Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) has been an effective way to leverage abundant unlabeled data with extremely scarce labeled data. Most SSL methods are commonly based on instance-wise consistency between different data transformations. We propose FlatMatch which minimizes a cross-sharpness measure to ensure consistent learning performance between the two datasets.

  Music source separation (MSS) faces challenges due to the limited availability of correctly-labeled individual instrument tracks.

Our proposed self-refining technique, employed with a noisy-labeled dataset, results in only a 1% accuracy degradation in multi-label instrument recognition.

  Multi-Task Learning (MTL) is an adequate method to do so, but usually requires datasets labeled for all tasks. We propose a method that can leverage datasets labeled for only some of the tasks in the MTL framework. Our work, Knowledge Assembly (KA), learns multiple tasks from disjoint datasets by leveraging the unlabeled data in a semi-supervised manner.

  Conditional generative adversarial networks (cGANs) have shown superior results in class-conditional generation tasks. To simultaneously control multiple conditions, cGANs require multi-label training datasets, where multiple labels can be assigned to each data instance. We propose a novel sampling approach called single-to-multi-label (S2M) sampling, based on the Markov chain Monte Carlo method.
