Multi-task learning on partially labeled datasets via invariant/equivariant semi-supervised learning

We investigate the potential of invariant and equivariant semi-supervised learning for addressing the challenges of training multi-task models on partially labeled datasets with differently structured output tasks. Specifically, we use the popular FixMatch method for invariant semi-supervised learning and its equivariant extension Dense FixMatch. We evaluate their performance on the Cityscapes and BDD100K datasets in the context of the prevalent object detection and semantic segmentation tasks in computer vision. We consider varying sizes of the subsets annotated for each task and different overlaps among them. Our results for both invariant and equivariant semi-supervised learning outperform supervised baselines in most situations, with the most significant improvements observed when fewer labeled samples are available for a task and generally better results for the latter approach. Our study suggests that invariant/equivariant learning is a promising general direction for multi-task learning from limited labeled data.

An analysis of over-sampling labeled data in semi-supervised learning with FixMatch

Most semi-supervised learning methods over-sample labeled data when constructing training mini-batches. This paper studies whether this common practice improves learning and how. We compare it to an alternative setting where each mini-batch is uniformly sampled from all the training data, labeled or not, which greatly reduces direct supervision from true labels in typical low-label regimes. However, this simpler setting can also be seen as more general and even necessary in multi-task problems where over-sampling labeled data would become intractable. Our experiments on semi-supervised CIFAR-10 image classification using FixMatch show a performance drop when using the uniform sampling approach which diminishes when the amount of labeled data or the training time increases. Further, we analyse the training dynamics to understand how over-sampling of labeled data compares to uniform sampling. Our main finding is that over-sampling is especially beneficial early in training but gets less important in the later stages when more pseudo-labels become correct. Nevertheless, we also find that keeping some true labels remains important to avoid the accumulation of confirmation errors from incorrect pseudo-labels.

Regularizing CNN Transfer Learning with Randomised Regression

This paper is about regularizing deep convolutional networks (CNNs) based on an adaptive framework for transfer learning with limited training data in the target domain. Recent advances of CNN regularization in this context are commonly due to the use of additional regularization objectives. They guide the training away from the target task using some forms of concrete tasks. Unlike those related approaches, we suggest that an objective without a concrete goal can still serve well as a regularized. In particular, we demonstrate Pseudo-task Regularization (PtR) which dynamically regularizes a network by simply attempting to regress image representations to pseudo-regression targets during fine-tuning. That is, a CNN is efficiently regularized without additional resources of data or prior domain expertise. In sum, the proposed PtR provides: a) an alternative for network regularization without dependence on the design of concrete regularization objectives or extra annotations; b) a dynamically adjusted and maintained strength of regularization effect by balancing the gradient norms between objectives on-line. Through numerous experiments, surprisingly, the improvements on classification accuracy by PtR are shown greater or on a par to the recent state-of-the-art methods.
