In Multiple Instance learning (MIL), weak labels are provided at the bag level with only presence/absence information known. However, there is a considerable gap in performance in comparison to a fully supervised model, limiting the practical applicability of MIL approaches. Thus, this paper introduces a novel semi-weak label learning paradigm as a middle ground to mitigate the problem. We define semi-weak label data as data where we know the presence or absence of a given class and the exact count of each class as opposed to knowing the label proportions. We then propose a two-stage framework to address the problem of learning from semi-weak labels. It leverages the fact that counting information is non-negative and discrete. Experiments are conducted on generated samples from CIFAR-10. We compare our model with a fully-supervised setting baseline, a weakly-supervised setting baseline and learning from pro-portion (LLP) baseline. Our framework not only outperforms both baseline models for MIL-based weakly super-vised setting and learning from proportion setting, but also gives comparable results compared to the fully supervised model. Further, we conduct thorough ablation studies to analyze across datasets and variation with batch size, losses architectural changes, bag size and regularization

For classification tasks, deep neural networks are prone to overfitting in the presence of label noise. Although existing methods are able to alleviate this problem at low noise levels, they encounter significant performance reduction at high noise l evels, or even at medium noise levels when the label noise is asymmetric. To train classifiers that are universally robust to all noise levels, and that are not sensitive to any variation in the noise model, we propose a distillation-based framework that incorporates a new subcategory of Positive-Unlabeled learning. In particular, we shall assume that a small subset of any given noisy dataset is known to have correct labels, which we treat as positive, while the remaining noisy subset is treated as unlabeled. Our framework consists of the following two components: (1) We shall generate, via iterative updates, an augmented clean subset with additional reliable positive samples filtered from unlabeled samples; (2) We shall train a teacher model on this larger augmented clean set. With the guidance of the teacher model, we then train a student model on the whole dataset. Experiments were conducted on the CIFAR-10 dataset with synthetic label noise at multiple noise levels for both symmetric and asymmetric noise. The results show that our framework generally outperforms at medium to high noise levels. We also evaluated our framework on Clothing1M, a real-world noisy dataset, and we achieved 2.94% improvement in accuracy over existing state-of-the-art methods.
We study the robustness of image classifiers to temporal perturbations derived from videos. As part of this study, we construct two datasets, ImageNet-Vid-Robust and YTBB-Robust , containing a total 57,897 images grouped into 3,139 sets of perceptual ly similar images. Our datasets were derived from ImageNet-Vid and Youtube-BB respectively and thoroughly re-annotated by human experts for image similarity. We evaluate a diverse array of classifiers pre-trained on ImageNet and show a median classification accuracy drop of 16 and 10 on our two datasets. Additionally, we evaluate three detection models and show that natural perturbations induce both classification as well as localization errors, leading to a median drop in detection mAP of 14 points. Our analysis demonstrates that perturbations occurring naturally in videos pose a substantial and realistic challenge to deploying convolutional neural networks in environments that require both reliable and low-latency predictions
In this work, we investigate semi-supervised learning (SSL) for image classification using adversarial training. Previous results have illustrated that generative adversarial networks (GANs) can be used for multiple purposes. Triple-GAN, which aims t o jointly optimize model components by incorporating three players, generates suitable image-label pairs to compensate for the lack of labeled data in SSL with improved benchmark performance. Conversely, Bad (or complementary) GAN, optimizes generation to produce complementary data-label pairs and force a classifiers decision boundary to lie between data manifolds. Although it generally outperforms Triple-GAN, Bad GAN is highly sensitive to the amount of labeled data used for training. Unifying these two approaches, we present unified-GAN (UGAN), a novel framework that enables a classifier to simultaneously learn from both good and bad samples through adversarial training. We perform extensive experiments on various datasets and demonstrate that UGAN: 1) achieves state-of-the-art performance among other deep generative models, and 2) is robust to variations in the amount of labeled data used for training.
Self-training is a standard approach to semi-supervised learning where the learners own predictions on unlabeled data are used as supervision during training. In this paper, we reinterpret this label assignment process as an optimal transportation pr oblem between examples and classes, wherein the cost of assigning an example to a class is mediated by the current predictions of the classifier. This formulation facilitates a practical annealing strategy for label assignment and allows for the inclusion of prior knowledge on class proportions via flexible upper bound constraints. The solutions to these assignment problems can be efficiently approximated using Sinkhorn iteration, thus enabling their use in the inner loop of standard stochastic optimization algorithms. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm on the CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and SVHN datasets in comparison with FixMatch, a state-of-the-art self-training algorithm.

The black-box nature of deep neural networks (DNNs) makes it impossible to understand why a particular output is produced, creating demand for Explainable AI. In this paper, we show that statistical fault localization (SFL) techniques from software e ngineering deliver high quality explanations of the outputs of DNNs, where we define an explanation as a minimal subset of features sufficient for making the same decision as for the original input. We present an algorithm and a tool called DeepCover, which synthesizes a ranking of the features of the inputs using SFL and constructs explanations for the decisions of the DNN based on this ranking. We compare explanations produced by DeepCover with those of the state-of-the-art tools GradCAM, LIME, SHAP, RISE and Extremal and show that explanations generated by DeepCover are consistently better across a broad set of experiments. On a benchmark set with known ground truth, DeepCover achieves 76.7% accuracy, which is 6% better than the second best Extremal.
