• Abstract: Scarcity of high quality annotated images remains a limiting factor for training accurate image segmentation models. While more and more annotated datasets become publicly available, the number of samples in each individual database is often small. Combining different databases to create larger amounts of training data is appealing yet challenging due to the heterogeneity as a result of differences in data acquisition and annotation processes, often yielding incompatible or even conflicting information. In this paper, we investigate and propose several strategies for learning from partially overlapping labels in the context of abdominal organ segmentation. We find that combining a semi-supervised approach with an adaptive cross entropy loss can successfully exploit heterogeneously annotated data and substantially improve segmentation accuracy compared to baseline and alternative approaches.

  Supervised learning methods achieve excellent performances when fed with a sufficient amount of labeled data. Such labels are typically highly time-consuming, error-prone and expensive to produce. Semi-supervised learning approaches leverage both labeled and unlabeled data, and are very useful when only a small fraction of the dataset is labeled.

  We present a consistency based semi-supervised learning (SSL) approach that can help mitigate this challenge. SSL models might also be susceptible to changing context and features perturbations exhibiting poor generalisation due to the limited training data. We show that cross-consistency training makes the encoder features invariant to different perturbations and improves the prediction confidence.

  We propose Dense FixMatch, a simple method for online semi-supervised learning of dense and structured prediction tasks. We enable the application of FixMatch in semi-supervised learning problems beyond image classification by adding a matching operation on the pseudo-labels. Dense FixMatch significantly improves results compared to supervised learning using only labeled data, approaching its performance with 1/4 of the labeled samples.

  We propose a semi-supervised method that reuses available labels for unlabeled images of a dataset by exploiting existing similarities. We evaluate our method on a large dataset of human decomposition images and find that our method, while conceptually simple, outperforms state-of-the-art consistency.

  We focus on the semi-supervised segmentation problem where only a small set of labeled data is provided with a much larger collection of totally unlabeled images. A preferred high-level representation should capture the contextual information while not losing self-awareness. We present the Directional Contrastive Loss (DC Loss) to accomplish the consistency in a pixel-to-pixel manner.

  We propose Vicinal Labels Under Uncertainty (VLUU) to bridge the methodological gaps in partially supervised learning (PSL) under data scarcity. Motivated by multi-task learning and vicinal risk minimization, VLUU transforms the partially supervised problem into a fully supervised problem by generating vicinal labels. Our research suggests a new research direction in label-efficient deep learning with partial supervision.
