We propose discriminative adversarial networks (DAN) for semi-supervised learning and loss function learning. Our DAN approach builds upon generative adversarial networks (GANs) and conditional GANs but includes the key differentiator of using two discriminators instead of a generator and a discriminator. DAN can be seen as a framework to learn loss functions for predictors that also implements semi-supervised learning in a straightforward manner. We propose instantiations of DAN for two different prediction tasks: classification and ranking. Our experimental results on three datasets of different tasks demonstrate that DAN is a promising framework for both semi-supervised learning and learning loss functions for predictors. For all tasks, the semi-supervised capability of DAN can significantly boost the predictor performance for small labeled sets with minor architecture changes across tasks. Moreover, the loss functions automatically learned by DANs are very competitive and usually outperform the standard pairwise and negative log-likelihood loss functions for both semi-supervised and supervised learning.

Deep learning based task systems normally rely on a large amount of manually labeled training data, which is expensive to obtain and subject to operator variations. Moreover, it does not always hold that the manually labeled data and the unlabeled da ta are sitting in the same distribution. In this paper, we alleviate these problems by proposing a discriminative consistent domain generation (DCDG) approach to achieve a semi-supervised learning. The discriminative consistent domain is achieved by a double-sided domain adaptation. The double-sided domain adaptation aims to make a fusion of the feature spaces of labeled data and unlabeled data. In this way, we can fit the differences of various distributions between labeled data and unlabeled data. In order to keep the discriminativeness of generated consistent domain for the task learning, we apply an indirect learning for the double-sided domain adaptation. Based on the generated discriminative consistent domain, we can use the unlabeled data to learn the task model along with the labeled data via a consistent image generation. We demonstrate the performance of our proposed DCDG on the late gadolinium enhancement cardiac MRI (LGE-CMRI) images acquired from patients with atrial fibrillation in two clinical centers for the segmentation of the left atrium anatomy (LA) and proximal pulmonary veins (PVs). The experiments show that our semi-supervised approach achieves compelling segmentation results, which can prove the robustness of DCDG for the semi-supervised learning using the unlabeled data along with labeled data acquired from a single center or multicenter studies.
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) based semi-supervised learning (SSL) approaches are shown to improve classification performance by utilizing a large number of unlabeled samples in conjunction with limited labeled samples. However, their perfor mance still lags behind the state-of-the-art non-GAN based SSL approaches. We identify that the main reason for this is the lack of consistency in class probability predictions on the same image under local perturbations. Following the general literature, we address this issue via label consistency regularization, which enforces the class probability predictions for an input image to be unchanged under various semantic-preserving perturbations. In this work, we introduce consistency regularization into the vanilla semi-GAN to address this critical limitation. In particular, we present a new composite consistency regularization method which, in spirit, leverages both local consistency and interpolation consistency. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach on two SSL image classification benchmark datasets, SVHN and CIFAR-10. Our experiments show that this new composite consistency regularization based semi-GAN significantly improves its performance and achieves new state-of-the-art performance among GAN-based SSL approaches.

Neural networks have been successfully used as classification models yielding state-of-the-art results when trained on a large number of labeled samples. These models, however, are more difficult to train successfully for semi-supervised problems whe re small amounts of labeled instances are available along with a large number of unlabeled instances. This work explores a new training method for semi-supervised learning that is based on similarity function learning using a Siamese network to obtain a suitable embedding. The learned representations are discriminative in Euclidean space, and hence can be used for labeling unlabeled instances using a nearest-neighbor classifier. Confident predictions of unlabeled instances are used as true labels for retraining the Siamese network on the expanded training set. This process is applied iteratively. We perform an empirical study of this iterative self-training algorithm. For improving unlabeled predictions, local learning with global consistency [22] is also evaluated.
We propose a Regularization framework based on Adversarial Transformations (RAT) for semi-supervised learning. RAT is designed to enhance robustness of the output distribution of class prediction for a given data against input perturbation. RAT is an extension of Virtual Adversarial Training (VAT) in such a way that RAT adversarialy transforms data along the underlying data distribution by a rich set of data transformation functions that leave class label invariant, whereas VAT simply produces adversarial additive noises. In addition, we verified that a technique of gradually increasing of perturbation region further improve the robustness. In experiments, we show that RAT significantly improves classification performance on CIFAR-10 and SVHN compared to existing regularization methods under standard semi-supervised image classification settings.
Graph convolutional neural networks~(GCNs) have recently demonstrated promising results on graph-based semi-supervised classification, but little work has been done to explore their theoretical properties. Recently, several deep neural networks, e.g. , fully connected and convolutional neural networks, with infinite hidden units have been proved to be equivalent to Gaussian processes~(GPs). To exploit both the powerful representational capacity of GCNs and the great expressive power of GPs, we investigate similar properties of infinitely wide GCNs. More specifically, we propose a GP regression model via GCNs~(GPGC) for graph-based semi-supervised learning. In the process, we formulate the kernel matrix computation of GPGC in an iterative analytical form. Finally, we derive a conditional distribution for the labels of unobserved nodes based on the graph structure, labels for the observed nodes, and the feature matrix of all the nodes. We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate the semi-supervised classification performance of GPGC and demonstrate that it outperforms other state-of-the-art methods by a clear margin on all the datasets while being efficient.
