• Abstract: The efficacy of deep learning depends on large-scale data sets that have been carefully curated with reliable data acquisition and annotation processes. However, acquiring such large-scale data sets with precise annotations is very expensive and time-consuming, and the cheap alternatives often yield data sets that have noisy labels. The field has addressed this problem by focusing on training models under two types of label noise: 1) closed-set noise, where some training samples are incorrectly annotated to a training label other than their known true class; and 2) open-set noise, where the training set includes samples that possess a true class that is (strictly) not contained in the set of known training labels. In this work, we study a new variant of the noisy label problem that combines the open-set and closed-set noisy labels, and introduce a benchmark evaluation to assess the performance of training algorithms under this setup. We argue that such problem is more general and better reflects the noisy label scenarios in practice. Furthermore, we propose a novel algorithm, called EvidentialMix, that addresses this problem and compare its performance with the state-of-the-art methods for both closed-set and open-set noise on the proposed benchmark. Our results show that our method produces superior classification results and better feature representations than previous state-of-the-art methods.

  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.

  We propose a novel sample selection-based approach for noisy label learning, called Proto-semi. Proto-semi divides all samples into the confident and unconfident datasets via warm-up. By leveraging the confident dataset, prototype vectors are constructed to capture class characteristics. Empirical evaluations on a real-world annotated dataset substantiate the robustness of Proto-semi in handling the problem of learning from noisy labels.

• Neighborhood Collective Estimation for Noisy Label Identification and Correction [92.20697827784426]
  Learning with noisy labels (LNL) aims at designing strategies to improve model performance and generalization by mitigating the effects of model overfitting to noisy labels. Recent advances employ the predicted label distributions of individual samples to perform noise verification and noisy label correction, easily giving rise to confirmation bias. We propose Neighborhood Collective Estimation, in which the predictive reliability of a candidate sample is re-estimated by contrasting it against its feature-space nearest neighbors.
