JEPAMatch: Geometric Representation Shaping for Semi-Supervised Learning

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

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.

ReCalMatch:Reliability-Calibrated Semantic Guidance for Semi-Supervised Fine-Grained Recognition

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.
