• Abstract summary: In this work, we provide a detailed analysis of the effects of different kinds of label noise on learning. We propose a generic framework to generate feature-dependent label noise, which we show to be the most challenging case for learning. For the ease of other researchers to test their algorithms with noisy labels, we share corrupted labels for the most commonly used benchmark datasets.

• Abstract: The recent success of deep learning is mostly due to the availability of big datasets with clean annotations. However, gathering a cleanly annotated dataset is not always feasible due to practical challenges. As a result, label noise is a common problem in datasets, and numerous methods to train deep neural networks in the presence of noisy labels are proposed in the literature. These methods commonly use benchmark datasets with synthetic label noise on the training set. However, there are multiple types of label noise, and each of them has its own characteristic impact on learning. Since each work generates a different kind of label noise, it is problematic to test and compare those algorithms in the literature fairly. In this work, we provide a detailed analysis of the effects of different kinds of label noise on learning. Moreover, we propose a generic framework to generate feature-dependent label noise, which we show to be the most challenging case for learning. Our proposed method aims to emphasize similarities among data instances by sparsely distributing them in the feature domain. By this approach, samples that are more likely to be mislabeled are detected from their softmax probabilities, and their labels are flipped to the corresponding class. The proposed method can be applied to any clean dataset to synthesize feature-dependent noisy labels. For the ease of other researchers to test their algorithms with noisy labels, we share corrupted labels for the most commonly used benchmark datasets. Our code and generated noisy synthetic labels are available online.

  We develop a novel pseudo labeling method using class prototypes from the perspective of distribution matching. By setting a manually-specific probability measure, we can reduce the side-effects of noisy and long-tailed data simultaneously. Our method can extract this class-balanced subset with clean labels, which brings effective performance gains for long-tailed classification with label noise.

  noisy labels in real-world applications often depend on both the true label and the features.

Our algorithm leverages casual representation learning and simultaneously identifies the high-level content and style latent factors from the data.

  We propose a Tripartite solution to partition training data more precisely into three subsets: hard, noisy, and clean. To minimize the harm of noisy labels but maximize the value of noisy label data, we apply a low-weight learning on hard data and a self-supervised learning on noisy label data without using the given labels.
