Supervised models of NLP rely on large collections of text which closely resemble the intended testing setting. Unfortunately matching text is often not available in sufficient quantity, and moreover, within any domain of text, data is…
Feature selection prepares the AI-readiness of data by eliminating redundant features. Prior research falls into two primary categories: i) Supervised Feature Selection, which identifies the optimal feature subset based on their relevance…
A key goal of unsupervised learning is to go beyond density estimation and sample generation to reveal the structure inherent within observed data. Such structure can be expressed in the pattern of interactions between explanatory latent…
In this work, we address the problem of unsupervised domain adaptation for person re-ID where annotations are available for the source domain but not for target. Previous methods typically follow a two-stage optimization pipeline, where the…
This paper presents an unsupervised learning approach for simultaneous sample and feature selection, which is in contrast to existing works which mainly tackle these two problems separately. In fact the two tasks are often interleaved with…
Learning a new task from a handful of examples remains an open challenge in machine learning. Despite the recent progress in few-shot learning, most methods rely on supervised pretraining or meta-learning on labeled meta-training data and…
Feature selection is a widely used dimension reduction technique to select feature subsets because of its interpretability. Many methods have been proposed and achieved good results, in which the relationships between adjacent data points…
A feature selection algorithm should ideally satisfy four conditions: reliably extract relevant features; be able to identify non-linear feature interactions; scale linearly with the number of features and dimensions; allow the…
Clustering-based approach has proved effective in dealing with unsupervised domain adaptive person re-identification (ReID) tasks. However, existing works along this approach still suffer from noisy pseudo labels and the unreliable…
Unsupervised learning of high-dimensional data is challenging due to irrelevant or noisy features obscuring underlying structures. It's common that only a few features, called the influential features, meaningfully define the clusters.…

Using search engines for web image retrieval is a tempting alternative to manual curation when creating an image dataset, but their main drawback remains the proportion of incorrect (noisy) samples retrieved. These noisy samples have been…
