Deep semi-supervised learning (SSL) has experienced significant attention in recent years, to leverage a huge amount of unlabeled data to improve the performance of deep learning with limited labeled data. Pseudo-labeling is a popular approach to expand the labeled dataset. However, whether there is a more effective way of labeling remains an open problem. In this paper, we propose to label only the most representative samples to expand the labeled set. Representative samples, selected by indegree of corresponding nodes on a directed k-nearest neighbor (kNN) graph, lie in the k-nearest neighborhood of many other samples. We design a graph neural network (GNN) labeler to label them in a progressive learning manner. Aided by the progressive GNN labeler, our deep SSL approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods on several popular SSL benchmarks including CIFAR-10, SVHN, and ILSVRC-2012. Notably, we achieve 72.1% top-1 accuracy, surpassing the previous best result by 3.3%, on the challenging ImageNet benchmark with only $10%$ labeled data.

Person re-identification (re-ID) requires one to match images of the same person across camera views. As a more challenging task, semi-supervised re-ID tackles the problem that only a number of identities in training data are fully labeled, while the remaining are unlabeled. Assuming that such labeled and unlabeled training data share disjoint identity labels, we propose a novel framework of Semantics-Guided Clustering with Deep Progressive Learning (SGC-DPL) to jointly exploit the above data. By advancing the proposed Semantics-Guided Affinity Propagation (SG-AP), we are able to assign pseudo-labels to selected unlabeled data in a progressive fashion, under the semantics guidance from the labeled ones. As a result, our approach is able to augment the labeled training data in the semi-supervised setting. Our experiments on two large-scale person re-ID benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our SGC-DPL over state-of-the-art methods across different degrees of supervision. In extension, the generalization ability of our SGC-DPL is also verified in other tasks like vehicle re-ID or image retrieval with the semi-supervised setting.
We present a multiview pseudo-labeling approach to video learning, a novel framework that uses complementary views in the form of appearance and motion information for semi-supervised learning in video. The complementary views help obtain more reliable pseudo-labels on unlabeled video, to learn stronger video representations than from purely supervised data. Though our method capitalizes on multiple views, it nonetheless trains a model that is shared across appearance and motion input and thus, by design, incurs no additional computation overhead at inference time. On multiple video recognition datasets, our method substantially outperforms its supervised counterpart, and compares favorably to previous work on standard benchmarks in self-supervised video representation learning.
In this paper, we propose Augmented Reality Semi-automatic labeling (ARS), a semi-automatic method which leverages on moving a 2D camera by means of a robot, proving precise camera tracking, and an augmented reality pen to define initial object bounding box, to create large labeled datasets with minimal human intervention. By removing the burden of generating annotated data from humans, we make the Deep Learning technique applied to computer vision, that typically requires very large datasets, truly automated and reliable. With the ARS pipeline, we created effortlessly two novel datasets, one on electromechanical components (industrial scenario) and one on fruits (daily-living scenario), and trained robustly two state-of-the-art object detectors, based on convolutional neural networks, such as YOLO and SSD. With respect to the conventional manual annotation of 1000 frames that takes us slightly more than 10 hours, the proposed approach based on ARS allows annotating 9 sequences of about 35000 frames in less than one hour, with a gain factor of about 450. Moreover, both the precision and recall of object detection is increased by about 15% with respect to manual labeling. All our software is available as a ROS package in a public repository alongside the novel annotated datasets.
In this paper we revisit the idea of pseudo-labeling in the context of semi-supervised learning where a learning algorithm has access to a small set of labeled samples and a large set of unlabeled samples. Pseudo-labeling works by applying pseudo-labels to samples in the unlabeled set by using a model trained on the combination of the labeled samples and any previously pseudo-labeled samples, and iteratively repeating this process in a self-training cycle. Current methods seem to have abandoned this approach in favor of consistency regularization methods that train models under a combination of different styles of self-supervised losses on the unlabeled samples and standard supervised losses on the labeled samples. We empirically demonstrate that pseudo-labeling can in fact be competitive with the state-of-the-art, while being more resilient to out-of-distribution samples in the unlabeled set. We identify two key factors that allow pseudo-labeling to achieve such remarkable results (1) applying curriculum learning principles and (2) avoiding concept drift by restarting model parameters before each self-training cycle. We obtain 94.91% accuracy on CIFAR-10 using only 4,000 labeled samples, and 68.87% top-1 accuracy on Imagenet-ILSVRC using only 10% of the labeled samples.

Semi-supervised learning is becoming increasingly important because it can combine data carefully labeled by humans with abundant unlabeled data to train deep neural networks. Classic methods on semi-supervised learning that have focused on transductive learning have not been fully exploited in the inductive framework followed by modern deep learning. The same holds for the manifold assumption---that similar examples should get the same prediction. In this work, we employ a transductive label propagation method that is based on the manifold assumption to make predictions on the entire dataset and use these predictions to generate pseudo-labels for the unlabeled data and train a deep neural network. At the core of the transductive method lies a nearest neighbor graph of the dataset that we create based on the embeddings of the same network.Therefore our learning process iterates between these two steps. We improve performance on several datasets especially in the few labels regime and show that our work is complementary to current state of the art.
