解决大模型在长尾半监督学习中标签偏差问题,提升小类识别准确率。

ULFine: Unbiased Lightweight Fine-tuning for Foundation-Model-Assisted Long-Tailed Semi-Supervised Learning

  • 通过自适应文本原型拟合缓解模型过自信问题。
  • 双逻辑融合有效降低伪标签与分类器偏差,尾部类别准确率显著提升。
  • 训练成本降低十倍以上,适合资源有限场景下的高效微调。

基于CLIP等大规模视觉基础模型在下游任务中的成功,本文首次探索其在长尾半监督学习(LTSSL)中的影响。对比线性探测(LP)、轻量微调(LFT)和全微调(FFT)三种策略发现:相较于从零训练的LTSSL方法,FFT导致性能下降;而LP和LFT虽提升整体性能,但对尾部类别增益极小。其中,LP因训练数据欠学习产生大量错误伪标签;LFT虽减少此类错误,却因训练数据偏倚导致模型过度自信,加剧了伪标签与分类器固有偏差,限制尾部类别的改进。为此,提出无偏轻量微调方法ULFine:通过置信度感知的自适应文本原型拟合缓解过自信,利用双逻辑互补融合对抗伪标签与分类器偏差。大量实验表明,ULFine将训练成本降低超十倍,且显著优于当前最优方法,在尾部类别上实现更高预测准确率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Based on the success of large-scale visual foundation models like CLIP in various downstream tasks, this paper initially attempts to explore their impact on Long-Tailed Semi-Supervised Learning (LTSSL) by employing the foundation model with three strategies: Linear Probing (LP), Lightweight Fine-Tuning (LFT), and Full Fine-Tuning (FFT). Our analysis presents the following insights: i) Compared to LTSSL algorithms trained from scratch, FFT results in a decline in model performance, whereas LP and LFT, although boosting overall model performance, exhibit negligible benefits to tail classes. ii) LP produces numerous false pseudo-labels due to \textit{underlearned} training data, while LFT can reduce the number of these false labels but becomes overconfident about them owing to \textit{biased fitting} training data. This exacerbates the pseudo-labeled and classifier biases inherent in LTSSL, limiting performance improvement in the tail classes. With these insights, we propose a Unbiased Lightweight Fine-tuning strategy, \textbf{ULFine}, which mitigates the overconfidence via confidence-aware adaptive fitting of textual prototypes and counteracts the pseudo-labeled and classifier biases via complementary fusion of dual logits. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ULFine markedly decreases training costs by over ten times and substantially increases prediction accuracies compared to state-of-the-art methods.
