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.

SAUF-Net is a semi‑supervised medical image segmentation framework that learns structure–appearance representations with uncertainty feedback. It decomposes bottleneck features into structural and appearance components, injects them into decoding, and uses auxiliary decoders and a dual‑head discriminator to estimate reliability and uncertainty. Experiments on ISIC‑2016 and Kvasir‑SEG show that SAUF‑Net surpasses state‑of‑the‑art methods, particularly when few labels are available.

ReCalMatch introduces a reliability‑calibrated semantic framework for semi‑supervised fine‑grained visual recognition, addressing the problem of overconfident pseudo‑label errors that arise when visually similar categories produce incorrect high‑confidence predictions. The method constructs class‑conditioned semantic prototypes from class names and domain‑specific aspects, and computes a visual‑semantic agreement score to calibrate pseudo‑label reliability alongside prediction confidence and entropy. Experiments on datasets such as CUB‑200‑2011, Stanford Dogs, NABirds, and iNaturalist18 demonstrate that ReCalMatch consistently improves strong SSL baselines, especially in low‑label regimes where pseudo‑label noise is most severe.

Crowdsourced labeling provides valuable labeled data for domains across natural language processing, computer vision, and video. Label aggregation aims to infer latent true labels from noisy and biased annotations, with the key lying in annotator reliability estimation.

SAGE (Subpopulation-Aware Generative Enhancement) is a two-stage generative augmentation framework designed to mitigate spurious correlations in machine learning when group labels are unavailable. It uses cluster-derived sub-labels and class labels to fine‑tune a conditional generative model and text encoder, producing synthetic data that fills underrepresented regions and creates a balanced validation set for last‑layer reweighting. Experiments show SAGE improves worst‑group accuracy to 89.5%, 85.7%, and 79.1% on Waterbirds, CelebA, and MetaShift, outperforming existing group‑label‑free baselines by up to 7.7 percentage points.
