• Abstract summary: MixMOOD is a systematic approach to mitigate effect of class distribution mismatch in semi-supervised deep learning (SSDL) with MixMatch. In the first part, we analyze the sensitivity of MixMatch accuracy under 90 different distribution mismatch scenarios. In the second part, we propose an efficient and effective method, called deep dataset dissimilarity measures (DeDiMs) to compare labelled and unlabelled datasets.

• Abstract: In this work, we propose MixMOOD - a systematic approach to mitigate effect of class distribution mismatch in semi-supervised deep learning (SSDL) with MixMatch. This work is divided into two components: (i) an extensive out of distribution (OOD) ablation test bed for SSDL and (ii) a quantitative unlabelled dataset selection heuristic referred to as MixMOOD. In the first part, we analyze the sensitivity of MixMatch accuracy under 90 different distribution mismatch scenarios across three multi-class classification tasks. These are designed to systematically understand how OOD unlabelled data affects MixMatch performance. In the second part, we propose an efficient and effective method, called deep dataset dissimilarity measures (DeDiMs), to compare labelled and unlabelled datasets. The proposed DeDiMs are quick to evaluate and model agnostic. They use the feature space of a generic Wide-ResNet and can be applied prior to learning. Our test results reveal that supposed semantic similarity between labelled and unlabelled data is not a good heuristic for unlabelled data selection. In contrast, strong correlation between MixMatch accuracy and the proposed DeDiMs allow us to quantitatively rank different unlabelled datasets ante hoc according to expected MixMatch accuracy. This is what we call MixMOOD. Furthermore, we argue that the MixMOOD approach can aid to standardize the evaluation of different semi-supervised learning techniques under real world scenarios involving out of distribution data.

  Semi-supervised multi-label learning (SSMLL) is a powerful framework for leveraging unlabeled data to reduce the expensive cost of collecting precise multi-label annotations. Unlike semi-supervised learning, one cannot select the most probable label as the pseudo-label in SSMLL due to multiple semantics contained in an instance. We propose a dual-perspective method to generate high-quality pseudo-labels.

Existing approaches based on pseudo-labeling suffer from the issues of pseudo-label bias and error accumulation. We propose JointMatch, a holistic approach for SSTC that addresses these challenges by unifying ideas from recent semi-supervised learning.

  Real-world datasets contain noisy label samples that have no semantic relevance to any class in the dataset.

We propose incorporating the information from all the training data by leveraging the benefits of self-supervised training.
