• Title: Improving Model Training via Self-learned Label Representations
• Authors: Xiao Yu and Nakul Verma
• Abstract summary: We show that more sophisticated label representations are better for classification than the usual one-hot encoding. We propose Learning with Adaptive Labels (LwAL) algorithm, which simultaneously learns the label representation while training for the classification task. Our algorithm introduces negligible additional parameters and has a minimal computational overhead.

• Abstract: Modern neural network architectures have shown remarkable success in several large-scale classification and prediction tasks. Part of the success of these architectures is their flexibility to transform the data from the raw input representations (e.g. pixels for vision tasks, or text for natural language processing tasks) to one-hot output encoding. While much of the work has focused on studying how the input gets transformed to the one-hot encoding, very little work has examined the effectiveness of these one-hot labels. In this work, we demonstrate that more sophisticated label representations are better for classification than the usual one-hot encoding. We propose Learning with Adaptive Labels (LwAL) algorithm, which simultaneously learns the label representation while training for the classification task. These learned labels can significantly cut down on the training time (usually by more than 50%) while often achieving better test accuracies. Our algorithm introduces negligible additional parameters and has a minimal computational overhead. Along with improved training times, our learned labels are semantically meaningful and can reveal hierarchical relationships that may be present in the data.

  We propose multi-label iterated learning (MILe) to incorporate the inductive biases of multi-label learning from single labels. MILe is a simple yet effective procedure that builds a multi-label description of the image by propagating binary predictions. We show that MILe is effective reducing label noise, achieving state-of-the-art performance on real-world large-scale noisy data such as WebVision.

• Continual Local Replacement for Few-shot Learning [13.956960291580938]
  The goal of few-shot learning is to learn a model that can recognize novel classes based on one or few training data. It is challenging mainly due to two aspects: (1) it lacks good feature representation of novel classes; (2) a few of labeled data could not accurately represent the true data distribution. A novel continual local replacement strategy is proposed to address the data deficiency problem.
