• Abstract summary: We propose Classification Based on MissForest Imputation to deal with missing data. CBMI stacks the predicted test label with missing values and stacks the label with the input for imputation. CBMI consistently shows significantly better results than imputation based on only the input data.

• Abstract: Missing data is a common problem in practical data science settings. Various imputation methods have been developed to deal with missing data. However, even though the labels are available in the training data in many situations, the common practice of imputation usually only relies on the input and ignores the label. We propose Classification Based on MissForest Imputation (CBMI), a classification strategy that initializes the predicted test label with missing values and stacks the label with the input for imputation, allowing the label and the input to be imputed simultaneously. In addition, we propose the imputation using labels (IUL) algorithm, an imputation strategy that stacks the label into the input and illustrates how it can significantly improve the imputation quality. Experiments show that CBMI has classification accuracy when the test set contains missing data, especially for imbalanced data and categorical data. Moreover, for both the regression and classification, IUL consistently shows significantly better results than imputation based on only the input data.

  We introduce a novel conditional image generation framework that accepts noisy-labeled and uncurated data during training. We propose soft curriculum learning, which assigns instance-wise weights for adversarial training while assigning new labels for unlabeled data. Our experiments show that our approach outperforms existing semi-supervised and label-noise robust methods in terms of both quantitative and qualitative performance.

  Partial-label learning is a weakly supervised learning setting that allows each training example to be annotated with a set of candidate labels. Previous studies on partial-label learning only focused on the classification setting where candidate labels are all discrete. In this paper, we provide the first attempt to investigate partial-label regression, where each training example is annotated with a set of real-valued candidate labels.

  We consider the task of finding sentences that contain label errors in token classification datasets. We study 11 different straightforward methods that score tokens/sentences based on the predicted class probabilities. We identify a simple and effective method that consistently detects those sentences containing label errors when applied with different token classification models.

  Deep neural networks achieve remarkable performances on a wide range of tasks with the aid of large-scale labeled datasets. To mitigate the requirement for labeled data, self-training is widely used in both academia and industry by pseudo labeling on readily-available unlabeled data. We propose Debiased, in which the generation and utilization of pseudo labels are decoupled by two independent heads.

  We show that different negative sampling schemes implicitly trade-off performance on dominant versus rare labels. We provide a unified means to explicitly tackle both sampling bias, arising from working with a subset of all labels, and labeling bias, which is inherent to the data due to label imbalance.

  Manual labelling of training examples is common practice in supervised learning. When the labelling task is of non-trivial difficulty, the supplied labels may not be equal to the ground-truth labels, and label noise is introduced into the training dataset. In particular, when classification difficulty is the only source of label errors, multiple sets of noisy labels can supply more information for the estimation of a classification rule.
