• Authors: Songhua Wu, Xiaobo Xia, Tongliang Liu, Bo Han, Mingming Gong, Nannan Wang, Haifeng Liu, Gang Niu
• Abstract summary: We propose a framework called Class2Simi, which transforms data points with noisy class labels to data pairs with noisy similarity labels. Class2Simi is computationally efficient because not only this transformation is on-the-fly in mini-batches, but also it just changes loss on top of model prediction into a pairwise manner.

• Abstract: Learning with noisy labels has attracted a lot of attention in recent years, where the mainstream approaches are in pointwise manners. Meanwhile, pairwise manners have shown great potential in supervised metric learning and unsupervised contrastive learning. Thus, a natural question is raised: does learning in a pairwise manner mitigate label noise? To give an affirmative answer, in this paper, we propose a framework called Class2Simi: it transforms data points with noisy class labels to data pairs with noisy similarity labels, where a similarity label denotes whether a pair shares the class label or not. Through this transformation, the reduction of the noise rate is theoretically guaranteed, and hence it is in principle easier to handle noisy similarity labels. Amazingly, DNNs that predict the clean class labels can be trained from noisy data pairs if they are first pretrained from noisy data points. Class2Simi is computationally efficient because not only this transformation is on-the-fly in mini-batches, but also it just changes loss computation on top of model prediction into a pairwise manner. Its effectiveness is verified by extensive experiments.

  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.

Our method can better model the mixed label noise, following its more robust performance than the prior state-of-the-art label-noise learning methods.

  We show that the prediction of a noisy classifier can indeed be a good indicator of whether the label of a training data is clean.
