- Abstract: Segmentation of 3D knee MR images is important for the assessment of
osteoarthritis. Like other medical data, the volume-wise labeling of knee MR
images is expertise-demanded and time-consuming; hence semi-supervised learning
(SSL), particularly barely-supervised learning, is highly desirable for
training with insufficient labeled data. We observed that the class imbalance
problem is severe in the knee MR images as the cartilages only occupy 6% of
foreground volumes, and the situation becomes worse without sufficient labeled
data. To address the above problem, we present a novel framework for
barely-supervised knee segmentation with noisy and imbalanced labels. Our
framework leverages label distribution to encourage the network to put more
effort into learning cartilage parts. Specifically, we utilize 1.) label
quantity distribution for modifying the objective loss function to a
class-aware weighted form and 2.) label position distribution for constructing
a cropping probability mask to crop more sub-volumes in cartilage areas from
both labeled and unlabeled inputs. In addition, we design dual
uncertainty-aware sampling supervision to enhance the supervision of
low-confident categories for efficient unsupervised learning. Experiments show
that our proposed framework brings significant improvements by incorporating
the unlabeled data and alleviating the problem of class imbalance. More
importantly, our method outperforms the state-of-the-art SSL methods,
demonstrating the potential of our framework for the more challenging SSL
setting.

Full-reference (FR) image quality assessment (IQA) evaluates the visual quality of a distorted image by measuring its perceptual difference with pristine-quality reference.
Unlabeled data can be easily collected from an image degradation or restoration process, making it encouraging to exploit unlabeled training data to boost FR-IQA performance.
In this paper, we suggest to incorporate semi-supervised and positive-unlabeled (PU) learning for exploiting unlabeled data while mitigating the adverse effect of outliers.

We propose Adaptive Blended Consistency Loss (ABCL) as a drop-in replacement for consistency loss in perturbation-based SSL methods.
ABCL counteracts data skew by adaptively mixing the target class distribution of the consistency loss in accordance with class frequency.
Our experiments with ABCL reveal improvements to unweighted average recall on two different imbalanced medical image classification datasets.
