• Abstract summary: ReLaB is an unsupervised preprossessing algorithm which improves the performance of semi-supervised algorithms in extremely low supervision settings. We show that the selection of the network architecture and the self-supervised algorithm are important factors to achieve successful label propagation. We reach average error rates of $boldsymbol22.34$ with 1 random labeled sample per class on CIFAR-10 and lower this error to $boldsymbol8.46$ when the labeled sample in each class is highly representative.

• Abstract: Reducing the amount of labels required to train convolutional neural networks without performance degradation is key to effectively reduce human annotation efforts. We propose Reliable Label Bootstrapping (ReLaB), an unsupervised preprossessing algorithm which improves the performance of semi-supervised algorithms in extremely low supervision settings. Given a dataset with few labeled samples, we first learn meaningful self-supervised, latent features for the data. Second, a label propagation algorithm propagates the known labels on the unsupervised features, effectively labeling the full dataset in an automatic fashion. Third, we select a subset of correctly labeled (reliable) samples using a label noise detection algorithm. Finally, we train a semi-supervised algorithm on the extended subset. We show that the selection of the network architecture and the self-supervised algorithm are important factors to achieve successful label propagation and demonstrate that ReLaB substantially improves semi-supervised learning in scenarios of very limited supervision on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100 and mini-ImageNet. We reach average error rates of $\boldsymbol{22.34}$ with 1 random labeled sample per class on CIFAR-10 and lower this error to $\boldsymbol{8.46}$ when the labeled sample in each class is highly representative.

  This paper presents one-bit supervision, a novel setting of learning with fewer labels, for image classification.

  In this paper we address the problem of classification in the presence of label noise. In the heart of our method is a sample selection mechanism that relies on the consistency between the annotated label of a sample and the distribution of the labels in its neighborhood in the feature space. Our method significantly surpasses previous methods on both CIFARCIFAR100 with artificial noise and real-world noisy datasets such as WebVision and ANIMAL-10N.

Semi-supervised learning (SSL) alleviates that by making strong assumptions about the relation between the labels and the input data distribution.

We present a loop in which a deep neural network (VGG-16) is trained from a set with more correctly labeled samples along iterations. As the labeled set improves along iterations, it improves the features of the neural network.
