让深度模型学会在真实不均衡数据上训练,避免昂贵的数据清洗。
Learning from Limited and Imperfect Data
- 针对长尾分布设计生成模型,缓解少数类模式崩溃问题。
- 通过归纳正则化提升少数类泛化能力,无需生成图像。
- 适用于标注少、数据分布偏移的场景,适合实际应用部署。
深度神经网络训练常用数据集(如ImageNet、MSCOCO等)通常人工平衡各类别数量,以促进所有类别学习。但此过程成本高昂,常需丢弃大量珍贵标注数据。现实世界数据分布(如互联网数据)与精心筛选的数据集差异显著,常见类别样本过多,导致传统算法在处理长尾不平衡和分布偏移时表现不佳。为使深度模型广泛应用,必须摆脱昂贵的数据清洗,开发能直接从真实世界不完美数据中学习的鲁棒算法。为此,本文提出四类实用方法:第一,针对长尾数据的生成模型,缓解少数类模式崩溃,实现多样美观的图像生成;第二,通过归纳正则化提升少数类泛化性能,使其表现接近多数类,无需显式生成图像;第三,优化与平均准确率不同的关键指标,用于标注有限的半监督长尾学习;第四,实现零样本到少量样本下的有效域适应,使模型可迁移至不同领域。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The datasets used for Deep Neural Network training (e.g., ImageNet, MSCOCO, etc.) are often manually balanced across categories (classes) to facilitate learning of all the categories. This curation process is often expensive and requires throwing away precious annotated data to balance the frequency across classes. This is because the distribution of data in the world (e.g., internet, etc.) significantly differs from the well-curated datasets and is often over-populated with samples from common categories. The algorithms designed for well-curated datasets perform suboptimally when used to learn from imperfect datasets with long-tailed imbalances and distribution shifts. For deep models to be widely used, getting away with the costly curation process by developing robust algorithms that can learn from real-world data distribution is necessary. Toward this goal, we develop practical algorithms for Deep Neural Networks that can learn from limited and imperfect data present in the real world. These works are divided into four segments, each covering a scenario of learning from limited or imperfect data. The first part of the works focuses on Learning Generative Models for Long-Tail Data, where we mitigate the mode-collapse for tail (minority) classes and enable diverse aesthetic image generations as head (majority) classes. In the second part, we enable effective generalization on tail classes through Inductive Regularization schemes, which allow tail classes to generalize as the head classes without enforcing explicit generation of images. In the third part, we develop algorithms for Optimizing Relevant Metrics compared to the average accuracy for learning from long-tailed data with limited annotation (semi-supervised), followed by the fourth part, which focuses on the effective domain adaptation of the model to various domains with zero to very few labeled samples.
