Recent generative adversarial networks (GANs) are able to generate impressive photo-realistic images. However, controllable generation with GANs remains a challenging research problem. Achieving controllable generation requires semantically interpretable and disentangled factors of variation. It is challenging to achieve this goal using simple fixed distributions such as Gaussian distribution. Instead, we propose an unsupervised framework to learn a distribution of latent codes that control the generator through self-training. Self-training provides an iterative feedback in the GAN training, from the discriminator to the generator, and progressively improves the proposal of the latent codes as training proceeds. The latent codes are sampled from a latent variable model that is learned in the feature space of the discriminator. We consider a normalized independent component analysis model and learn its parameters through tensor factorization of the higher-order moments. Our framework exhibits better disentanglement compared to other variants such as the variational autoencoder, and is able to discover semantically meaningful latent codes without any supervision. We demonstrate empirically on both cars and faces datasets that each group of elements in the learned code controls a mode of variation with a semantic meaning, e.g. pose or background change. We also demonstrate with quantitative metrics that our method generates better results compared to other approaches.

Self-training is one of the earliest and simplest semi-supervised methods. The key idea is to augment the original labeled dataset with unlabeled data paired with the models prediction (i.e. the pseudo-parallel data). While self-training has been ext
ensively studied on classification problems, in complex sequence generation tasks (e.g. machine translation) it is still unclear how self-training works due to the compositionality of the target space. In this work, we first empirically show that self-training is able to decently improve the supervised baseline on neural sequence generation tasks. Through careful examination of the performance gains, we find that the perturbation on the hidden states (i.e. dropout) is critical for self-training to benefit from the pseudo-parallel data, which acts as a regularizer and forces the model to yield close predictions for similar unlabeled inputs. Such effect helps the model correct some incorrect predictions on unlabeled data. To further encourage this mechanism, we propose to inject noise to the input space, resulting in a noisy version of self-training. Empirical study on standard machine translation and text summarization benchmarks shows that noisy self-training is able to effectively utilize unlabeled data and improve the performance of the supervised baseline by a large margin.
We propose self-adaptive training---a new training algorithm that dynamically corrects problematic training labels by model predictions without incurring extra computational cost---to improve generalization of deep learning for potentially corrupted
training data. This problem is crucial towards robustly learning from data that are corrupted by, e.g., label noises and out-of-distribution samples. The standard empirical risk minimization (ERM) for such data, however, may easily overfit noises and thus suffers from sub-optimal performance. In this paper, we observe that model predictions can substantially benefit the training process: self-adaptive training significantly improves generalization over ERM under various levels of noises, and mitigates the overfitting issue in both natural and adversarial training. We evaluate the error-capacity curve of self-adaptive training: the test error is monotonously decreasing w.r.t. model capacity. This is in sharp contrast to the recently-discovered double-descent phenomenon in ERM which might be a result of overfitting of noises. Experiments on CIFAR and ImageNet datasets verify the effectiveness of our approach in two applications: classification with label noise and selective classification. We release our code at https://github.com/LayneH/self-adaptive-training.
In order to train robust deep learning models, large amounts of labelled data is required. However, in the absence of such large repositories of labelled data, unlabeled data can be exploited for the same. Semi-Supervised learning aims to utilize suc
h unlabeled data for training classification models. Recent progress of self-training based approaches have shown promise in this area, which leads to this study where we utilize an ensemble approach for the same. A by-product of any semi-supervised approach may be loss of calibration of the trained model especially in scenarios where unlabeled data may contain out-of-distribution samples, which leads to this investigation on how to adapt to such effects. Our proposed algorithm carefully avoids common pitfalls in utilizing unlabeled data and leads to a more accurate and calibrated supervised model compared to vanilla self-training based student-teacher algorithms. We perform several experiments on the popular STL-10 database followed by an extensive analysis of our approach and study its effects on model accuracy and calibration.
Recent work has demonstrated that neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples. To escape from the predicament, many works try to harden the model in various ways, in which adversarial training is an effective way which learns robust featur
e representation so as to resist adversarial attacks. Meanwhile, the self-supervised learning aims to learn robust and semantic embedding from data itself. With these views, we introduce self-supervised learning to against adversarial examples in this paper. Specifically, the self-supervised representation coupled with k-Nearest Neighbour is proposed for classification. To further strengthen the defense ability, self-supervised adversarial training is proposed, which maximizes the mutual information between the representations of original examples and the corresponding adversarial examples. Experimental results show that the self-supervised representation outperforms its supervised version in respect of robustness and self-supervised adversarial training can further improve the defense ability efficiently.
Models trained with offline data often suffer from continual distribution shifts and expensive labeling in changing environments. This calls for a new online learning paradigm where the learner can continually adapt to changing environments with limi
ted labels. In this paper, we propose a new online setting -- Online Active Continual Adaptation, where the learner aims to continually adapt to changing distributions using both unlabeled samples and active queries of limited labels. To this end, we propose Online Self-Adaptive Mirror Descent (OSAMD), which adopts an online teacher-student structure to enable online self-training from unlabeled data, and a margin-based criterion that decides whether to query the labels to track changing distributions. Theoretically, we show that, in the separable case, OSAMD has an $O({T}^{1/2})$ dynamic regret bound under mild assumptions, which is even tighter than the lower bound $Omega(T^{2/3})$ of traditional online learning with full labels. In the general case, we show a regret bound of $O({alpha^*}^{1/3} {T}^{2/3} + alpha^* T)$, where $alpha^*$ denotes the separability of domains and is usually small. Our theoretical results show that OSAMD can fast adapt to changing environments with active queries. Empirically, we demonstrate that OSAMD achieves favorable regrets under changing environments with limited labels on both simulated and real-world data, which corroborates our theoretical findings.
