The rawly collected training data often comes with separate noisy labels collected from multiple imperfect annotators (e.g., via crowdsourcing). A typical way of using these separate labels is to first aggregate them into one and apply…

Partial label learning (PLL) is a typical weakly supervised learning, where each sample is associated with a set of candidate labels. Its basic assumption is that the ground-truth label must be in the candidate set, but this assumption may…

Several learning algorithms have been proposed for offline multi-label classification. However, applications in areas such as traffic monitoring, social networks, and sensors produce data continuously, the so called data streams, posing…

Label noise may affect the generalization of classifiers, and the effective learning of main patterns from samples with noisy labels is an important challenge. Recent studies have shown that deep neural networks tend to prioritize the…
