Learning an empirically effective model with generalization using limited data is a challenging task for deep neural networks. In this paper, we propose a novel learning framework called PurifiedLearning to exploit task-irrelevant features extracted from task-irrelevant labels when training models on small-scale datasets. Particularly, we purify feature representations by using the expression of task-irrelevant information, thus facilitating the learning process of classification. Our work is built on solid theoretical analysis and extensive experiments, which demonstrate the effectiveness of PurifiedLearning. According to the theory we proved, PurifiedLearning is model-agnostic and doesnt have any restrictions on the model needed, so it can be combined with any existing deep neural networks with ease to achieve better performance. The source code of this paper will be available in the future for reproducibility.

Deep neural models have hitherto achieved significant performances on numerous classification tasks, but meanwhile require sufficient manually annotated data. Since it is extremely time-consuming and expensive to annotate adequate data for each class
ification task, learning an empirically effective model with generalization on small dataset has received increased attention. Existing efforts mainly focus on transferring task-relevant knowledge from other similar data to tackle the issue. These approaches have yielded remarkable improvements, yet neglecting the fact that the task-irrelevant features could bring out massive negative transfer effects. To date, no large-scale studies have been performed to investigate the impact of task-irrelevant features, let alone the utilization of this kind of features. In this paper, we firstly propose Task-Irrelevant Transfer Learning (TIRTL) to exploit task-irrelevant features, which mainly are extracted from task-irrelevant labels. Particularly, we suppress the expression of task-irrelevant information and facilitate the learning process of classification. We also provide a theoretical explanation of our method. In addition, TIRTL does not conflict with those that have previously exploited task-relevant knowledge and can be well combined to enable the simultaneous utilization of task-relevant and task-irrelevant features for the first time. In order to verify the effectiveness of our theory and method, we conduct extensive experiments on facial expression recognition and digit recognition tasks. Our source code will be also available in the future for reproducibility.
Image classification has been studied extensively but there has been limited work in the direction of using non-conventional, external guidance other than traditional image-label pairs to train such models. In this thesis we present a set of methods
to leverage information about the semantic hierarchy induced by class labels. In the first part of the thesis, we inject label-hierarchy knowledge to an arbitrary classifier and empirically show that availability of such external semantic information in conjunction with the visual semantics from images boosts overall performance. Taking a step further in this direction, we model more explicitly the label-label and label-image interactions by using order-preserving embedding-based models, prevalent in natural language, and tailor them to the domain of computer vision to perform image classification. Although, contrasting in nature, both the CNN-classifiers injected with hierarchical information, and the embedding-based models outperform a hierarchy-agnostic model on the newly presented, real-world ETH Entomological Collection image dataset https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/365379.
The current success of deep learning depends on large-scale labeled datasets. In practice, high-quality annotations are expensive to collect, but noisy annotations are more affordable. Previous works report mixed empirical results when training with
noisy labels: neural networks can easily memorize random labels, but they can also generalize from noisy labels. To explain this puzzle, we study how architecture affects learning with noisy labels. We observe that if an architecture suits the task, training with noisy labels can induce useful hidden representations, even when the model generalizes poorly; i.e., the last few layers of the model are more negatively affected by noisy labels. This finding leads to a simple method to improve models trained on noisy labels: replacing the final dense layers with a linear model, whose weights are learned from a small set of clean data. We empirically validate our findings across three architectures (Convolutional Neural Networks, Graph Neural Networks, and Multi-Layer Perceptrons) and two domains (graph algorithmic tasks and image classification). Furthermore, we achieve state-of-the-art results on image classification benchmarks by combining our method with existing approaches on noisy label training.
Learning with noisy labels is an important and challenging task for training accurate deep neural networks. Some commonly-used loss functions, such as Cross Entropy (CE), suffer from severe overfitting to noisy labels. Robust loss functions that sati
sfy the symmetric condition were tailored to remedy this problem, which however encounter the underfitting effect. In this paper, we theoretically prove that textbf{any loss can be made robust to noisy labels} by restricting the network output to the set of permutations over a fixed vector. When the fixed vector is one-hot, we only need to constrain the output to be one-hot, which however produces zero gradients almost everywhere and thus makes gradient-based optimization difficult. In this work, we introduce the sparse regularization strategy to approximate the one-hot constraint, which is composed of network output sharpening operation that enforces the output distribution of a network to be sharp and the $ell_p$-norm ($ple 1$) regularization that promotes the network output to be sparse. This simple approach guarantees the robustness of arbitrary loss functions while not hindering the fitting ability. Experimental results demonstrate that our method can significantly improve the performance of commonly-used loss functions in the presence of noisy labels and class imbalance, and outperform the state-of-the-art methods.

An increasing number of well-trained deep networks have been released online by researchers and developers, enabling the community to reuse them in a plug-and-play way without accessing the training annotations. However, due to the large number of ne
twork variants, such public-available trained models are often of different architectures, each of which being tailored for a specific task or dataset. In this paper, we study a deep-model reusing task, where we are given as input pre-trained networks of heterogeneous architectures specializing in distinct tasks, as teacher models. We aim to learn a multitalented and light-weight student model that is able to grasp the integrated knowledge from all such heterogeneous-structure teachers, again without accessing any human annotation. To this end, we propose a common feature learning scheme, in which the features of all teachers are transformed into a common space and the student is enforced to imitate them all so as to amalgamate the intact knowledge. We test the proposed approach on a list of benchmarks and demonstrate that the learned student is able to achieve very promising performance, superior to those of the teachers in their specialized tasks.
