• Abstract: Deep neural network models are robust to a limited amount of label noise, but their ability to memorise noisy labels in high noise rate problems is still an open issue. The most competitive noisy-label learning algorithms rely on a 2-stage process comprising an unsupervised learning to classify training samples as clean or noisy, followed by a semi-supervised learning that minimises the empirical vicinal risk (EVR) using a labelled set formed by samples classified as clean, and an unlabelled set with samples classified as noisy. In this paper, we hypothesise that the generalisation of such 2-stage noisy-label learning methods depends on the precision of the unsupervised classifier and the size of the training set to minimise the EVR. We empirically validate these two hypotheses and propose the new 2-stage noisy-label training algorithm LongReMix. We test LongReMix on the noisy-label benchmarks CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, WebVision, Clothing1M, and Food101-N. The results show that our LongReMix generalises better than competing approaches, particularly in high label noise problems. Furthermore, our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in most datasets. The code will be available upon paper acceptance.

  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.

  We introduce a novel framework, termed as LC-Booster, to explicitly tackle learning under extreme noise. LC-Booster incorporates label correction into the sample selection, so that more purified samples, through the reliable label correction, can be utilized for training. Experiments show that LC-Booster advances state-of-the-art results on several noisy-label benchmarks.

  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.
