• Abstract summary: In image classification, incorrect labels may cause the classification model to be inaccurate as well. In this paper, I am going to apply unsupervised techniques to the training data before training the classification network. The algorithm can detect and remove above 67% of mislabeled data in the experimental dataset.

• Abstract: Supervised learning is based on the assumption that the ground truth in the training data is accurate. However, this may not be guaranteed in real-world settings. Inaccurate training data will result in some unexpected predictions. In image classification, incorrect labels may cause the classification model to be inaccurate as well. In this paper, I am going to apply unsupervised techniques to the training data before training the classification network. A convolutional autoencoder is applied to encode and reconstruct images. The encoder will project the image data on to latent space. In the latent space, image features are preserved in a lower dimension. The assumption is that data samples with similar features are likely to have the same label. Noised samples can be classified in the latent space by the Density-Base Scan (DBSCAN) clustering algorithm. These incorrectly labeled data are visualized as outliers in the latent space. Therefore, the outliers identified by the DBSCAN algorithm can be classified as incorrectly labeled samples. After the outliers are detected, all the outliers are treated as mislabeled data samples and removed from the dataset. Thus the training data can be directly used in training the supervised learning network. The algorithm can detect and remove above 67\% of mislabeled data in the experimental dataset.

  Semi-supervised learning is a powerful technique for leveraging unlabeled data to improve machine learning models. It can be affected by the presence of informative'' labels, which occur when some classes are more likely to be labeled than others. We propose a novel approach to address this issue by estimating the missing-data mechanism and using inverse propensity weighting to debias any SSL algorithm.

  Full-reference (FR) image quality assessment (IQA) evaluates the visual quality of a distorted image by measuring its perceptual difference with pristine-quality reference. Unlabeled data can be easily collected from an image degradation or restoration process, making it encouraging to exploit unlabeled training data to boost FR-IQA performance. In this paper, we suggest to incorporate semi-supervised and positive-unlabeled (PU) learning for exploiting unlabeled data while mitigating the adverse effect of outliers.

  In learning with noisy labels, the sample selection approach is very popular, which regards small-loss data as correctly labeled during training. However, losses are generated on-the-fly based on the model being trained with noisy labels, and thus large-loss data are likely but not certainly to be incorrect. In this paper, we incorporate the uncertainty of losses by adopting interval estimation instead of point estimation of losses.

  We use the concept of the null space to integrate an outlier detection method directly into a neural network used for classification. Our method, called Null Space Analysis (NuSA) of neural networks, works by computing and controlling the magnitude of the null space projection as data is passed through a network. Results are shown that indicate networks trained with NuSA retain their classification performance while also being able to detect outliers at rates similar to commonly used outlier detection algorithms.
