• Abstract: The segmentation of histological images is critical for various biomedical applications, yet the lack of annotated data presents a significant challenge. We propose a microscopy pseudo labeling pipeline utilizing unsupervised image translation to address this issue. Our method generates pseudo labels by translating between labeled and unlabeled domains without requiring prior annotation in the target domain. We evaluate two pseudo labeling strategies across three image domains increasingly dissimilar from the labeled data, demonstrating their effectiveness. Notably, our method achieves a mean Dice score of $0.736 \pm 0.005$ on a SEM dataset using the tutoring path, which involves training a segmentation model on synthetic data created by translating the labeled dataset (TEM) to the target modality (SEM). This approach aims to accelerate the annotation process by providing high-quality pseudo labels as a starting point for manual refinement.

  Semi-supervised multi-organ medical image segmentation aids physicians in improving disease diagnosis and treatment planning. A key concept is that voxel features from labeled and unlabeled data close each other in the feature space more likely to belong to the same class. We introduce a Knowledge Transfer Cross Pseudo-label Supervision (KT-CPS) strategy, which leverages the prior knowledge obtained from the labeled data to guide the training of the unlabeled data.

  Semi-supervised medical image segmentation has gained growing interest due to its ability to utilize unannotated data. The current state-of-the-art methods mostly rely on pseudo-labeling within a co-training framework. We propose a novel approach where multiple pseudo-labels for the same unannotated image are used to learn from the unlabeled data.

  We propose a novel approach to generate supervision for semi-supervised semantic segmentation. We use a small number of labeled images as reference material and match pixels in an unlabeled image to the semantics of the best fitting pixel in a reference set. We achieve the same performance as a standard fully supervised model on X-ray anatomy segmentation, albeit 95% fewer labeled images.

  We propose a novel method for semi-supervised semantic segmentation named GuidedMix-Net. We first introduce a feature alignment objective between labeled and unlabeled data to capture potentially similar image pairs. MITrans is shown to be a powerful knowledge module for further progressive refining features of unlabeled data. Along with supervised learning for labeled data, the prediction of unlabeled data is jointly learned with the generated pseudo masks.

We train two semantic segmentation models with VGG and ResNet backbones on images labeled using our pseudo labeling method and those of a state-of-the-art method. The results indicate that using our pseudo-labels instead of those generated using the state-of-the-art method in the training process improves the mean-IoU and the frequency-weighted-IoU of the VGG and ResNet-based semantic segmentation models by 3.36%, 2.58%, 10

  Unsupervised Adaptive Domain (UDA) person re-identification (ReID) aims at adapting the model trained on a labeled source-domain dataset to a target-domain dataset without any further annotations. Most successful UDA-ReID approaches combine clustering-based pseudo-label prediction with representation learning and perform the two steps in an alternating fashion. We propose a Group-aware Label Transfer (GLT) algorithm, which enables the online interaction and mutual promotion of pseudo-label prediction and representation learning.

  Semi-Supervised Relation Extraction methods aim to leverage unlabeled data in addition to learning from limited samples. Existing self-training methods suffer from the gradual drift problem, where noisy pseudo labels on unlabeled data are incorporated during training. We propose a method called MetaSRE, where a Relation Label Generation Network generates quality assessment on pseudo labels by (meta) learning from the successful and failed attempts on Relation Classification Network as an additional meta-objective.
