Deep learning has achieved great success in recent years thanks to the availability of high-quality, well-annotated training data. However, this requirement is often not met in real-world applications.
arXiv:2511. 22823v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Weakly supervised learning has emerged as a practical alternative to fully supervised learning when complete and accurate labels are costly or infeasible to acquire.

PaSta introduces a Partial label-based Self‑training framework for noisy node classification on graphs. The method trains multiple annotators to generate high‑quality partial labels, then uses a partial‑label classification model with two loss functions to learn both labels and representations. A closed‑loop self‑training strategy further refines annotators, yielding an average 1.1% improvement over state‑of‑the‑art methods across five datasets.

arXiv:2601. 11670v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pseudo-label selection in semi-supervised learning is commonly driven by maximum-confidence thresholds, yet confidence alone can be unreliable under model overconfidence and class imbalance.

JEPAMatch introduces a new semi‑supervised learning framework that replaces traditional output‑thresholding with explicit geometric shaping of latent representations. By combining the FlexMatch loss with a latent‑space regularization inspired by LeJEPA, the method encourages isotropic Gaussian structure in the embedding space, mitigating class imbalance and noisy pseudo‑labels. Experiments on CIFAR‑100, STL‑10, and Tiny‑ImageNet show consistent performance gains and faster convergence compared to existing FixMatch‑based baselines.
