• Abstract summary: In this paper, we propose a novel federated semi-supervised learning method named FedTriNet. In particular, we propose to use three networks and a dynamic quality control mechanism to generate high-quality pseudo labels for unlabeled data. Experimental results on three publicly available datasets show that the proposed FedTriNet outperforms state-of-the-art baselines.

• Abstract: Federated Learning has shown great potentials for the distributed data utilization and privacy protection. Most existing federated learning approaches focus on the supervised setting, which means all the data stored in each client has labels. However, in real-world applications, the client data are impossible to be fully labeled. Thus, how to exploit the unlabeled data should be a new challenge for federated learning. Although a few studies are attempting to overcome this challenge, they may suffer from information leakage or misleading information usage problems. To tackle these issues, in this paper, we propose a novel federated semi-supervised learning method named FedTriNet, which consists of two learning phases. In the first phase, we pre-train FedTriNet using labeled data with FedAvg. In the second phase, we aim to make most of the unlabeled data to help model learning. In particular, we propose to use three networks and a dynamic quality control mechanism to generate high-quality pseudo labels for unlabeled data, which are added to the training set. Finally, FedTriNet uses the new training set to retrain the model. Experimental results on three publicly available datasets show that the proposed FedTriNet outperforms state-of-the-art baselines under both IID and Non-IID settings.

  Federated learning (FL) is a distributed learning paradigm that facilitates collaborative training of a shared global model across devices. We propose FedAnchor, an innovative FSSL method that introduces a unique double-head structure, called anchor head, paired with the classification head trained exclusively on labeled anchor data on the server. Our approach mitigates the confirmation bias and overfitting issues associated with pseudo-labeling techniques based on high-confidence model prediction samples.

  State-of-the-art 3D object detectors are usually trained on large-scale datasets with high-quality 3D annotations. A natural remedy is to adopt semi-supervised learning (SSL) by leveraging a limited amount of labeled samples and abundant unlabeled samples. This paper introduces a novel approach of Hierarchical Supervision and Shuffle Data Augmentation (HSSDA), which is a simple yet effective teacher-student framework.
