• Authors: Fadoua Khmaissia and Hichem Frigui
• Abstract summary: We propose a new data augmentation technique for semi-supervised learning settings that emphasizes learning from the most challenging regions of the feature space. We perform experiments on two benchmark RGB datasets: CIFAR-100 and STL-10, and show that the proposed scheme improves classification performance in terms of accuracy and robustness.

• Abstract: We propose a new data augmentation technique for semi-supervised learning settings that emphasizes learning from the most challenging regions of the feature space. Starting with a fully supervised reference model, we first identify low confidence predictions. These samples are then used to train a Variational AutoEncoder (VAE) that can generate an infinite number of additional images with similar distribution. Finally, using the originally labeled data and the synthetically generated labeled and unlabeled data, we retrain a new model in a semi-supervised fashion. We perform experiments on two benchmark RGB datasets: CIFAR-100 and STL-10, and show that the proposed scheme improves classification performance in terms of accuracy and robustness, while yielding comparable or superior results with respect to existing fully supervised approaches

  Federated learning enables joint training of machine learning models from distributed clients without sharing their local data. One key challenge in federated learning is to handle non-identically distributed data across the clients. We propose a novel federated learning framework with projected trajectory regularization (FedPTR) for tackling the data issue.

  Transformer-based supervised pre-training achieves great performance in person re-identification (ReID) Due to the domain gap between ImageNet and ReID datasets, it usually needs a larger pre-training dataset to boost the performance. This work aims to mitigate the gap between the pre-training and ReID datasets from the perspective of data and model structure.

To better exploit the value of both pre-trained weights and unlabeled target examples, we introduce adaptive consistency regularization.

We show striking improvement in state-of-the-art unsupervised disentanglement performance and robustness across multiple datasets and metrics.
