• Abstract: Pre-trained vision-language models learn massive data to model unified representations of images and natural languages, which can be widely applied to downstream machine learning tasks. In addition to zero-shot inference, in order to better adapt pre-trained models to the requirements of downstream tasks, people usually use methods such as few-shot or parameter-efficient fine-tuning and knowledge distillation. However, annotating samples is laborious, while a large number of unlabeled samples can be easily obtained. In this paper, we investigate a novel "pre-trained annotating - weakly-supervised learning" paradigm for pre-trained model application and experiment on image classification tasks. Specifically, based on CLIP, we annotate image samples with multiple prompt templates to obtain multiple candidate labels to form the noisy partial label dataset, and design a collaborative consistency regularization algorithm to solve this problem. Our method simultaneously trains two neural networks, which collaboratively purify training labels for each other and obtain pseudo-labels for self-training, while adopting prototypical similarity alignment and noisy supervised contrastive learning to optimize model representation. In experiments, our method achieves performances far beyond zero-shot inference without introducing additional label information, and outperforms other weakly supervised learning and few-shot fine-tuning methods, and obtains smaller deployed models.

  The article proposes a novel small sample instance segmentation solution from the perspective of maximizing the utilization of existing information. First, it helps the model fully utilize unlabeled data by learning to generate pseudo labels, increasing the number of available samples. Second, by integrating the features of text and image, more accurate classification results can be obtained.

  Few-shot Learning has been studied to mimic human visual capabilities and learn effective models without the need of exhaustive human annotation. In this paper, we focus on the design of training strategy to obtain an elemental representation such that the prototype of each novel class can be estimated from a few labeled samples. We propose a two-stage training scheme, which first trains a partner encoder to model pair-wise similarities and extract features serving as soft-anchors, and then trains a main encoder by aligning its outputs with soft-anchors while attempting to maximize classification performance.
