• Abstract: Supervised deep learning depends on massive accurately annotated examples, which is usually impractical in many real-world scenarios. A typical alternative is learning from multiple noisy annotators. Numerous earlier works assume that all labels are noisy, while it is usually the case that a few trusted samples with clean labels are available. This raises the following important question: how can we effectively use a small amount of trusted data to facilitate robust classifier learning from multiple annotators? This paper proposes a data-efficient approach, called \emph{Trustable Co-label Learning} (TCL), to learn deep classifiers from multiple noisy annotators when a small set of trusted data is available. This approach follows the coupled-view learning manner, which jointly learns the data classifier and the label aggregator. It effectively uses trusted data as a guide to generate trustable soft labels (termed co-labels). A co-label learning can then be performed by alternately reannotating the pseudo labels and refining the classifiers. In addition, we further improve TCL for a special complete data case, where each instance is labeled by all annotators and the label aggregator is represented by multilayer neural networks to enhance model capacity. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real datasets clearly demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach. Source code is available at https://github.com/ShikunLi/TCL

  We introduce channel-wise contrastive learning (CWCL) to distinguish authentic label information from noise. Unlike conventional instance-wise contrastive learning (IWCL), CWCL tends to yield more nuanced and resilient features aligned with the authentic labels. Our strategy is twofold: firstly, using CWCL to extract pertinent features to identify cleanly labeled samples, and secondly, progressively fine-tuning using these samples.

  We propose a novel multi-label knowledge distillation method.

On the other hand, it enhances the distinctiveness of the learned feature representations by leveraging the structural information of label-wise embeddings.

It reliably trains more accurate classifiers with far fewer annotations than a wide variety of popular active learning methods.
