While Semi-supervised learning has gained much attention in computer vision on image data, yet limited research exists on its applicability in the time series domain. In this work, we investigate the transferability of state-of-the-art deep semi-supervised models from image to time series classification. We discuss the necessary model adaptations, in particular an appropriate model backbone architecture and the use of tailored data augmentation strategies. Based on these adaptations, we explore the potential of deep semi-supervised learning in the context of time series classification by evaluating our methods on large public time series classification problems with varying amounts of labelled samples. We perform extensive comparisons under a decidedly realistic and appropriate evaluation scheme with a unified reimplementation of all algorithms considered, which is yet lacking in the field. We find that these transferred semi-supervised models show significant performance gains over strong supervised, semi-supervised and self-supervised alternatives, especially for scenarios with very few labelled samples.

Multivariate time series naturally exist in many fields, like energy, bioinformatics, signal processing, and finance. Most of these applications need to be able to compare these structured data. In this context, dynamic time warping (DTW) is probably the most common comparison measure. However, not much research effort has been put into improving it by learning. In this paper, we propose a novel method for learning similarities based on DTW, in order to improve time series classification. Making use of the uniform stability framework, we provide the first theoretical guarantees in the form of a generalization bound for linear classification. The experimental study shows that the proposed approach is efficient, while yielding sparse classifiers.
We consider the task of learning a classifier from the feature space $mathcal{X}$ to the set of classes $mathcal{Y} = {0, 1}$, when the features can be partitioned into class-conditionally independent feature sets $mathcal{X}_1$ and $mathcal{X}_2$. W e show the surprising fact that the class-conditional independence can be used to represent the original learning task in terms of 1) learning a classifier from $mathcal{X}_2$ to $mathcal{X}_1$ and 2) learning the class-conditional distribution of the feature set $mathcal{X}_1$. This fact can be exploited for semi-supervised learning because the former task can be accomplished purely from unlabeled samples. We present experimental evaluation of the idea in two real world applications.
In few-shot classification, we are interested in learning algorithms that train a classifier from only a handful of labeled examples. Recent progress in few-shot classification has featured meta-learning, in which a parameterized model for a learning algorithm is defined and trained on episodes representing different classification problems, each with a small labeled training set and its corresponding test set. In this work, we advance this few-shot classification paradigm towards a scenario where unlabeled examples are also available within each episode. We consider two situations: one where all unlabeled examples are assumed to belong to the same set of classes as the labeled examples of the episode, as well as the more challenging situation where examples from other distractor classes are also provided. To address this paradigm, we propose novel extensions of Prototypical Networks (Snell et al., 2017) that are augmented with the ability to use unlabeled examples when producing prototypes. These models are trained in an end-to-end way on episodes, to learn to leverage the unlabeled examples successfully. We evaluate these methods
Most recent neural semi-supervised learning algorithms rely on adding small perturbation to either the input vectors or their representations. These methods have been successful on computer vision tasks as the images form a continuous manifold, but a re not appropriate for discrete input such as sentence. To adapt these methods to text input, we propose to decompose a neural network $M$ into two components $F$ and $U$ so that $M = Ucirc F$. The layers in $F$ are then frozen and only the layers in $U$ will be updated during most time of the training. In this way, $F$ serves as a feature extractor that maps the input to high-level representation and adds systematical noise using dropout. We can then train $U$ using any state-of-the-art SSL algorithms such as $Pi$-model, temporal ensembling, mean teacher, etc. Furthermore, this gradually unfreezing schedule also prevents a pretrained model from catastrophic forgetting. The experimental results demonstrate that our approach provides improvements when compared to state of the art methods especially on short texts.
Graphs have become increasingly popular in modeling structures and interactions in a wide variety of problems during the last decade. Graph-based clustering and semi-supervised classification techniques have shown impressive performance. This paper p roposes a graph learning framework to preserve both the local and global structure of data. Specifically, our method uses the self-expressiveness of samples to capture the global structure and adaptive neighbor approach to respect the local structure. Furthermore, most existing graph-based methods conduct clustering and semi-supervised classification on the graph learned from the original data matrix, which doesnt have explicit cluster structure, thus they might not achieve the optimal performance. By considering rank constraint, the achieved graph will have exactly $c$ connected components if there are $c$ clusters or classes. As a byproduct of this, graph learning and label inference are jointly and iteratively implemented in a principled way. Theoretically, we show that our model is equivalent to a combination of kernel k-means and k-means methods under certain condition. Extensive experiments on clustering and semi-supervised classification demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.
