• Authors: Zhiqiu Lin and Deva Ramanan and Aayush Bansal
• Abstract summary: We present streaming self-training (SST) that aims to democratize the process of learning visual recognition models. Key to SST are two crucial observations: (1) domain-agnostic unlabeled images enable us to learn better models with a few labeled examples without any additional knowledge or supervision; and (2) learning is a continuous process and can be done by constructing a schedule of learning updates.

• Abstract: We present streaming self-training (SST) that aims to democratize the process of learning visual recognition models such that a non-expert user can define a new task depending on their needs via a few labeled examples and minimal domain knowledge. Key to SST are two crucial observations: (1) domain-agnostic unlabeled images enable us to learn better models with a few labeled examples without any additional knowledge or supervision; and (2) learning is a continuous process and can be done by constructing a schedule of learning updates that iterates between pre-training on novel segments of the streams of unlabeled data, and fine-tuning on the small and fixed labeled dataset. This allows SST to overcome the need for a large number of domain-specific labeled and unlabeled examples, exorbitant computational resources, and domain/task-specific knowledge. In this setting, classical semi-supervised approaches require a large amount of domain-specific labeled and unlabeled examples, immense resources to process data, and expert knowledge of a particular task. Due to these reasons, semi-supervised learning has been restricted to a few places that can house required computational and human resources. In this work, we overcome these challenges and demonstrate our findings for a wide range of visual recognition tasks including fine-grained image classification, surface normal estimation, and semantic segmentation. We also demonstrate our findings for diverse domains including medical, satellite, and agricultural imagery, where there does not exist a large amount of labeled or unlabeled data.

  Deep neural networks often require large datasets of labeled samples to generalize effectively. An important area of active research is semi-supervised learning, which attempts to instead utilize large quantities of (easily acquired) unlabeled samples. In this work we explore a broader interpretation of pseudo-labels within both self-supervised and unsupervised methods.

  Large-scale labeled training datasets have enabled deep neural networks to excel across a wide range of benchmark vision tasks. In many applications, it is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming to obtain large quantities of labeled data. To cope with limited labeled training data, many have attempted to directly apply models trained on a large-scale labeled source domain to another sparsely labeled or unlabeled target domain.

  Generalising deep networks to novel domains without manual labels is challenging to deep learning. Pre-learned knowledge does not transfer well without making strong assumptions about the learned and the novel domains. In this work, we aim to learn a discriminative latent space of the unlabelled target data in a novel domain by knowledge transfer from labelled related domains.
