• Abstract summary: We propose to leverage sequences of point clouds to boost the pseudolabeling technique in a teacher-student setup via training multiple teachers. This set of teachers, dubbed Concordance, provides higher quality pseudo-labels for student training than standard methods. Our approach, which uses only 20% manual labels, outperforms some fully supervised methods.

• Abstract: Automatic pseudo-labeling is a powerful tool to tap into large amounts of sequential unlabeled data. It is specially appealing in safety-critical applications of autonomous driving, where performance requirements are extreme, datasets are large, and manual labeling is very challenging. We propose to leverage sequences of point clouds to boost the pseudolabeling technique in a teacher-student setup via training multiple teachers, each with access to different temporal information. This set of teachers, dubbed Concordance, provides higher quality pseudo-labels for student training than standard methods. The output of multiple teachers is combined via a novel pseudo label confidence-guided criterion. Our experimental evaluation focuses on the 3D point cloud domain and urban driving scenarios. We show the performance of our method applied to 3D semantic segmentation and 3D object detection on three benchmark datasets. Our approach, which uses only 20% manual labels, outperforms some fully supervised methods. A notable performance boost is achieved for classes rarely appearing in training data.

  Pseudo-labeling approaches to semi-supervised learning adopt a teacher-student framework. We leverage pre-trained motion-forecasting models to generate object trajectories on pseudo-labeled data. Our approach improves pseudo-label quality in two distinct manners.

  We propose One Thing One Click'', meaning that the annotator only needs to label one point per object. We iteratively conduct the training and label propagation, facilitated by a graph propagation module. Our model can be compatible to 3D instance segmentation equipped with a point-clustering strategy.

  We propose a principled approach that supports learning from heterogeneous datasets with different label sets. Our idea is to utilize a pre-trained language model to embed discrete labels to a continuous latent space with the help of their label names. Our model outperforms the state-of-the-art by a large margin.
