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.

arXiv:2604. 06614v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Prompt learning has gained significant attention as a parameter-efficient approach for adapting large pre-trained vision-language models to downstream tasks.

arXiv:2512. 17788v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-instance partial-label learning (MIPL) is a weakly supervised framework that extends the principles of multi-instance learning (MIL) and partial-label learning (PLL) to address the challenges of inexact supervision in both instance and label spaces.

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.

arXiv:2606. 08718v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Deep Active Learning (DAL) effectively reduces human annotation costs, its efficacy is constrained by human annotation errors.

arXiv:2503. 18509v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Weak supervision enables machine learning models to learn from limited or noisy labels, but it introduces challenges in reliability and semantic clarity, particularly in multi-instance partial label learning (MI-PLL), where models must resolve both ambiguous supervision signals and uncertain instance-label mappings.

Training deep learning models with freely available web images can reduce their dependence on costly manual annotations. Although webly supervised learning has been widely studied for single-label recognition, its multi-label counterpart remains underexplored, partly due to the lack of unified benchmarks and fair comparison protocols.
arXiv:2607. 02850v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Meta-learning without labeled data is crucial for real-world applications, where obtaining labeled datasets can be expensive or restricted due to privacy concerns.

arXiv:2602. 08986v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In hierarchical multi-label classification, a persistent challenge is enabling model predictions to reach deeper levels of the hierarchy for more detailed or fine-grained classifications.

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.
arXiv:2607. 18467v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many operational decisions rely on predictive models that estimate uncertain outcomes conditional on observable contexts.
