• Abstract summary: Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) is a framework that utilizes both labeled and unlabeled data to enhance model performance. We propose a general approach to augment existing SSL methods, enabling them to handle situations where certain classes are missing. Our experimental results reveal significant improvements in accuracy when compared to state-of-the-art SSL, open-set SSL, and open-world SSL methods.

• Abstract: Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) is a framework that utilizes both labeled and unlabeled data to enhance model performance. Conventional SSL methods operate under the assumption that labeled and unlabeled data share the same label space. However, in practical real-world scenarios, especially when the labeled training dataset is limited in size, some classes may be totally absent from the labeled set. To address this broader context, we propose a general approach to augment existing SSL methods, enabling them to effectively handle situations where certain classes are missing. This is achieved by introducing an additional term into their objective function, which penalizes the KL-divergence between the probability vectors of the true class frequencies and the inferred class frequencies. Our experimental results reveal significant improvements in accuracy when compared to state-of-the-art SSL, open-set SSL, and open-world SSL methods. We conducted these experiments on two benchmark image classification datasets, CIFAR-100 and STL-10, with the most remarkable improvements observed when the labeled data is severely limited, with only a few labeled examples per class

  Semi-supervised learning (SSL) offers a robust framework for harnessing the potential of unannotated data. The emergence of open-world SSL (OwSSL) introduces a more practical challenge, wherein unlabeled data may encompass samples from unseen classes. We propose an effective framework called OwMatch, combining conditional self-labeling and open-world hierarchical thresholding.

  Traditional semi-supervised learning assumes that the feature distributions of labeled and unlabeled data are consistent. We propose Self-Supervised Feature Adaptation (SSFA), a generic framework for improving SSL performance when labeled and unlabeled data come from different distributions. Our proposed SSFA is applicable to various pseudo-label-based SSL learners and significantly improves performance in labeled, unlabeled, and even unseen distributions.
