• Abstract: Named Entity Recognition (NER) is one of the first stages in deep language understanding yet current NER models heavily rely on human-annotated data. In this work, to alleviate the dependence on labeled data, we propose a Local Additivity based Data Augmentation (LADA) method for semi-supervised NER, in which we create virtual samples by interpolating sequences close to each other. Our approach has two variations: Intra-LADA and Inter-LADA, where Intra-LADA performs interpolations among tokens within one sentence, and Inter-LADA samples different sentences to interpolate. Through linear additions between sampled training data, LADA creates an infinite amount of labeled data and improves both entity and context learning. We further extend LADA to the semi-supervised setting by designing a novel consistency loss for unlabeled data. Experiments conducted on two NER benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of our methods over several strong baselines. We have publicly released our code at https://github.com/GT-SALT/LADA.

  We propose a downstream-pretext domain knowledge traceback (DOKT) method that traces the data interactions of downstream knowledge and pre-training guidance. DOKT consists of a traceback diversity indicator and a domain-based uncertainty estimator. Experiments conducted on ten datasets show that our model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.

  We argue that the performance of the final classifier depends on the data separation present in the latent space and visual separation present in the projection. We demonstrate our results by the classification of five real-world challenging image datasets of human intestinal parasites with only 1% supervised samples.

  Person re-identification (re-ID) has gained more and more attention due to its widespread applications in video surveillance.

In this paper, we develop a data collector to automatically generate synthetic re-ID samples in a computer game, and construct a data labeler to simultaneously annotate them.

  Open-set semi-supervised learning (open-set SSL) investigates a challenging but practical scenario where out-of-distribution (OOD) samples are contained in the unlabeled data. We propose a novel training mechanism that could effectively exploit the presence of OOD data for enhanced feature learning. Our approach substantially lifts the performance on open-set SSL and outperforms the state-of-the-art by a large margin.

In the second stage, we drop the distant labels, and propose a self-training approach to further improve the model performance.
