• Abstract: Crowdsourcing platforms are often used to collect datasets for training deep neural networks, despite higher levels of inaccurate labeling compared to expert labeling. There are two common strategies to manage the impact of this noise, the first involves aggregating redundant annotations, but comes at the expense of labeling substantially fewer examples. Secondly, prior works have also considered using the entire annotation budget to label as many examples as possible and subsequently apply denoising algorithms to implicitly clean up the dataset. We propose an approach which instead reserves a fraction of annotations to explicitly relabel highly probable labeling errors. In particular, we allocate a large portion of the labeling budget to form an initial dataset used to train a model. This model is then used to identify specific examples that appear most likely to be incorrect, which we spend the remaining budget to relabel. Experiments across three model variations and four natural language processing tasks show our approach outperforms both label aggregation and advanced denoising methods designed to handle noisy labels when allocated the same annotation budget.

  We introduce a novel conditional image generation framework that accepts noisy-labeled and uncurated data during training.

Our experiments show that our approach outperforms existing semi-supervised and label-noise robust methods in terms of both quantitative and qualitative performance.

  Deep neural networks achieve remarkable performances on a wide range of tasks with the aid of large-scale labeled datasets. To mitigate the requirement for labeled data, self-training is widely used in both academia and industry by pseudo labeling on readily-available unlabeled data. We propose Debiased, in which the generation and utilization of pseudo labels are decoupled by two independent heads.

We explore new annotation distribution schemes, assigning multiple labels per example for a small subset of training examples. Introducing such multi label examples at the cost of annotating fewer examples brings clear gains on natural language inference task and entity typing task.
