• Authors: Hengwei Zhao, Xinyu Wang, Jingtao Li, Yanfei Zhong
• Abstract summary: Positive-unlabeled learning (PU learning) in hyperspectral remote sensing imagery (HSI) is aimed at learning a binary classifier from positive and unlabeled data. In this paper, a Taylor variational loss is proposed for HSI PU learning, which reduces the weight of the gradient of the unlabeled data. Experiments on 7 benchmark datasets (21 tasks in total) validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

• Abstract: Positive-unlabeled learning (PU learning) in hyperspectral remote sensing imagery (HSI) is aimed at learning a binary classifier from positive and unlabeled data, which has broad prospects in various earth vision applications. However, when PU learning meets limited labeled HSI, the unlabeled data may dominate the optimization process, which makes the neural networks overfit the unlabeled data. In this paper, a Taylor variational loss is proposed for HSI PU learning, which reduces the weight of the gradient of the unlabeled data by Taylor series expansion to enable the network to find a balance between overfitting and underfitting. In addition, the self-calibrated optimization strategy is designed to stabilize the training process. Experiments on 7 benchmark datasets (21 tasks in total) validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Code is at: https://github.com/Hengwei-Zhao96/T-HOneCls.

  Current state-of-the-art LTSSL approaches rely on high-quality pseudo-labels for large-scale unlabeled data. This paper introduces a novel probabilistic framework that unifies various recent proposals in long-tail learning. We introduce a continuous contrastive learning method, CCL, extending our framework to unlabeled data using reliable and smoothed pseudo-labels.

  Positive-Unlabeled (PU) learning is vital in many real-world scenarios, but its application to graph data remains under-explored. We unveil that a critical challenge for PU learning on graph lies on the edge heterophily, which directly violates the irreducibility assumption for Class-Prior Estimation. In response to this challenge, we introduce a new method, named Graph PU Learning with Label Propagation Loss (GPL)

  We propose a method called ERASE (Error-Resilient representation learning on graphs for lAbel noiSe tolerancE) to learn representations with error tolerance. ERASE combines prototype pseudo-labels with propagated denoised labels and updates representations with error resilience.

Many methods face challenges due to class imbalance, which hinders the effectiveness of the pseudo-label generator. In this paper, we examine the root causes of low-quality pseudo-labels and present novel learning mechanisms to improve the label generation quality.

  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.
